He was transporting wounded civilians in Southern Lebanon. Nine other Scouts have also been seriously injured during an air raid including the Police Chief of the district of Zaharany, Hassan Jbeily, who had to undergo the amputation of both of his legs. George Ghorayeb, a member of the World Scout Committee, was able to discuss the tragedy with him and said that "in spite of his wounds, Mr Jbeily still has very high spirits." The Lebanese Scouts are today among the principal actors in the fight to help those who have become refugees due to the war.
