Description of the missing person

Maher Qassir, a student in school, was torn away from his family when he was just sixteen years old. He was his mother’s son, friend, and dream. He left his family, which consisted of two parents, two brothers, and two sisters, on June 17th, 1982, as he was helping his friends fight against the Israeli invasion during a battle at Lebanese University. Maher filled his mother’s life with love and passion, and his guitar playing brought her great happiness. His disappearance replaced those feelings with sadness, worry, and pain.

Qassir disappeared at Lebanese University’s faculty of science in June 1982 while he was with his friends standing up to the Israeli forces’ invasion of Beirut. He hasn’t been heard from ever since.
