Yunus al-Harfush
Yunus al-Harfush was the most powerful emir of the Shia Harfush family, who held Baalbek and the Beqaa valley under the Ottomans. He was at first an ally of the Druze emir Fakhr al-Din II, but the two later became rivals, and Fakhr al-Din's forces took Baalbek. He was executed by the Ottoman authorities in 1625.
