The Siege of Beirut, 1982. Seeds of Current Gaza Conflict Sewn. Power Vacuum Leads to New Militant Groups.
The occupation of Beirut successfully forced the Palestine Liberation Organization to relocate its headquarters out of Lebanon. However, it failed to deliver the lasting security for northern Israel that its architects had envisioned. The conflict’s unresolved tensions have carried forward, contributing to the continued violence and instability in the region that persists to this day.
Beirut, June 14 - August 21, 1982.
Israeli Forces: ~30,000 Soldiers.
Palestinian Forces: ~ 15,000 Militants.
