Mikhael was working on his bus distributing supplies in Majdal, more specifically on the road to Kaftoun. At that time there was a conflict in Ehden. He was then interrupted by three men who were driving a white Alfa Romeo and was kidnapped. They took the bus and headed towards Darbla. The bus headed towards Al Assi fields and the Alfa Romeo went to Kfarhelda where it crashed. Upon the crash, the kidnappers forced a farmer to drive them Deir Al Katara. That was the last time Mikhael was ever seen.
