Mousai was born in Iran and emigrated with his family to Israel in 1950. From 1958 to 1961 he completed his military service in the Nahal Brigade and in 1967 he was enlisted to the Six Day War under the Paratroopers Brigade. He was injured in Jerusalem and paralyzed in both legs.[2]

He competed in the 1972 Summer Paralympics and 1976 Summer Paralympics, taking part in five events as an individual competitor and reaching the final in two events: ranking sixth in the Men's 50 m Freestyle 4 tournament (1972) and eighth in the Men's 25 m Butterfly 4 tournament (1976).[3] At the 1972 Games, he won a gold medal in the 3×50 m medley relay 2-4 tournament, alongside Moshe Levy and Joseph Wengier.[1]
