🇵🇸 The Palestinian insurgency in South Lebanon
Was a multi-sided armed conflict initiated by Palestinian militants against Israel in 1968 and against Lebanese Christian militias in the mid-1970s. It served as a major catalyst for the outbreak of the #LebaneseCivilWar in 1975.
Fighting between the Palestinians and the #ChristianMilitias lasted until the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982, which led to the expulsion of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) from Lebanese territory.
While the #PLO relocated to #Tunisia in the aftermath of Israel's invasion, other Palestinian militant factions, such as the #Syria-based #PFLP–GC, continued to carry out low-level operations from Syrian-occupied #Lebanon. After 1982, the insurgency is considered to have faded in light of the inter-Lebanese #MountainWar and the #Israel–#Hezbollah conflict, the latter of which took place for the duration of the Israeli occupation of South Lebanon.
