In 1987, Shaziri was working as an Israel Defense Forces recruit while patrolling Israeli-Lebanon border where he tried to rescue his comrades but was hit by a mine. After the incident, he went to a military hospital where he was given a prosthetic leg. In 1994, he realized that he is a good engineer and even set up his own business where he was busy constructing wheelchairs for injured vets.[2]
Career
In 2012, he was selected to be a flag bearer at the 2012 Paralympics opening ceremony;[2] he also won a silver medal at these games.[3] Prior to the London Paralympics, he also won silver and bronze medals in such competitions as the 1996 Atlanta, 2000 Sydney, 2004 Athens, and 2008 Beijing Paralympic Games.[4]
