 This is best exemplified by the fact that Aoun, though attacked by the British as the prime instigator of the war, was immediately sent to the warring villages of Mount Lebanon by the Ottoman Porte's envoy, Fuad Pasha, to restore absolute peace and order in his name.In Bishop Aoun's archdiocese, a total of 67 churches were destroyed and 3 priests murdered in the 1860 Civil War.According to American Protestant missionary Henry Harris Jessup in "Fifty-Three Years in Syria", Bishop Tobia was "the man who next to the Patriarch had done more than any other Maronite to precipitate this awful civil war".
