🇵🇸 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.

🇵🇸 The Cairo Agreement, Explained
In the late ’60s, especially after Israel won the Arab-Israeli (6-Day) War [#TheWarInJune] in 1967, a strong presence of Palestinian guerillas began to grow in #Lebanon, and the frequency of their operations against Israel from within Lebanese territories increased as well.
On the evening of December 28th, 1968, the Israeli military commenced “#OperationGift,” a #commando operation on #Beirut Airport that resulted in the destruction of 13 passenger planes and a total loss of $43.8 million.
The Israeli repeated retaliations partly aimed to provoke a response in the Lebanese against the militant Palestinian presence in their country.
However, at the time, a significant portion of the Lebanese population was in support of that presence, for reasons that include the prevailing sentiment in the region against the Israeli occupation of #Palestine and the sectarian rift that had begun to manifest between #Muslims and #Christians.

🇵🇸 The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine ( DFLP) 1969-present | Palquest
The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (#DFLP) was founded in February 1969 when members within the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (#PFLP) decided to secede from the organization and to form a separate group. Intellectual and political differences had begun to appear within the PFLP just a few weeks after its first general congress was held in August 1968.
Throughout the DFLP's history, its fighters have carried out high-level operations deep inside occupied Palestine launched from “anchor points” that were established in #Jordan, the #GolanHeights , and Southern #Lebanon . They also fought in battles to defend the Palestinian #resistance in #Jordan, during the Lebanese Civil War and the Israeli Invasion of Lebanon in 1982, and in the “War of the Camps ” in Lebanon and to repel the Israeli military attacks on the #Gaza Strip.

🇵🇸 UK has sent 74 war planes from Cyprus to Lebanon since March | Declassified UK
Britain has sent over 80 military transport planes to Lebanon’s capital, Beirut, since the bombing of Gaza began, Declassified can reveal.
All the flights have gone from RAF Akrotiri, Britain’s sprawling air base on Cyprus which has long been a staging post for bombing missions in the Middle East. It sits 150 miles, or 45 minutes flight time, from Beirut.
There has been a steady stream of flights since the Israeli assault on Gaza began in October, but the number rose dramatically in April with 25 flights going from Akrotiri to #Beirut.
May saw the same number of flights, with another 14 so far this month.
