Later in February 1978, the Tyous and the Tigers under the command of Bashir Gemayel drove out the Syrian Army from East Beirut during the siege that lasted for a hundred days in a war called the Hundred Days' War. Al-Anid was announced dead at this war, however it was a sniper bullet that cut his ear in half. It was his right-hand man who was killed on the last day of the war.
