In 1987, Shaziri was working as an Israel Defense Forces recruit while patrolling the Israeli-Lebanon border, when he tried to rescue his comrades but was hit by a mine. After the incident, he was taken to a military hospital where he was given a prosthetic leg. In 1994, he realized that he was a good engineer, and established his own business in which he was constructed wheelchairs for injured vets.
