After an absolutely tragic suicide attack that targeted an Army post in northeastern Lebanon Saturday night, people across the nation are mourning for the families of the victims.
But from the terror and aftermath of the tragedy that killed three people, including two soldiers, and wounding 17 others, a story of bravery, heroism, and selflessness began to emerge, the bravery of Captain Elias Khoury who was personally at the barrier and suspected the car, so he pointed to the driver to go to the right, but the suicide bomber stopped just 15 meters from the checkpoint.
Captain Elias Khoury protected his component and asked them to stay where they are and went solo to the motorist Cherokees.
At this time, little can be said or done to take away the pain felt by a nation, a community, and the families and friends close to this horrific ordeal. But if you want to do an act of kindness today, find out how you may be of assistance, whether it be through emotional support, financial aid, or volunteer work.
