Jilber Qara'an, the fiancé of firefighter Sahar Fares, who was affected by the August 4 explosion, announced his engagement to a young woman through a post on Instagram. Jenny Shahade and Jilber Qara'an shared a photo together on their accounts, revealing their relationship along with a heartfelt message, especially since Shahade lost her fiancé Marwan Kfoury in a hit-and-run accident in 2021. The message read: "Life has been very harsh on us, burdening us with pain we do not deserve at the peak of our youth." The couple continued: "And because life continues despite the sadness and joy, each of us wished that what happened to us had not happened, and that we wouldn’t have lost our partner. We have the right to laugh, rejoice, and live because life suits us."
