Sweid served as a driver in Battalion 75 of the “Sa’ar Magolan” formation, under Brigade 7. He was killed during operational activity by Israeli forces in the western sector of southern Lebanon.
In the same incident, another IDF soldier was moderately wounded. The injured soldier was evacuated by helicopter for urgent medical treatment at a hospital, and his family was informed at the same time.
