During the 1948 Palestine war, about 100,000 Palestinians fled or were expelled by Israel into Lebanon;[5] it is from these Palestinian refugee camps that most insurgents were recruited.[6] In 1968, PLO guerrillas began conducting raids into Israel, and Israel conducted retaliatory raids into Lebanon. At the time, PLO's objective was to establish a single democratic state in all of historical Palestine with equal rights for Jews, Muslims in Christians.[4] By 1977, the objective had evolved to establishing a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, alongside Israel.[2][3][4]

Background

During the 1948 Palestine war, 730,000 Palestinians fled or were forced to leave by Zionist forces,[a] of which 100,000 arrived in Lebanon.[5] Most of the guerrillas would be recruited from Palestinian refugee camps.[6] By 1969, this population had grown to 235,000 as a result of natural population growth and immigration, including Palestinians who fled or were expelled by Israel during the 1967 war.[2] On the eve of the 1982 Israeli invasion, the Palestinian population in Lebanon was 375,000.[2]

While the first Palestinian attack on Israel from Lebanon happened in 1965, the number of armed Palestinians prior to 1967 was estimated at just 200.[6] The 1967 Six-Day war stimulated the growth of the Palestinian fedayeen (guerrillas).[6] After 1967, the number of armed Palestinians increased to 2,000 and by 1968 it had reached 15,000.[6]

The Lebanese Civil War (1975–1990) was a complex conflict in the form of various factions and shifting alliances between and among Lebanese Maronite Catholics, Lebanese Muslims, Palestinians, Lebanese Druze, and other non-sectarian groups. Governmental power had been allotted among the different religious groups by the National Pact based partially on the results of the 1932 census. Changes in demographics and increased feelings of deprivation by certain ethnic groups, as well as Israeli–Palestinian clashes in the south of the country all contributed to the outbreak of the Lebanese Civil War.

Beginning in May 1976, Israel supplied the Maronite militias, including the Lebanese Forces, led by Bachir Gemayel, with arms, tanks, and military advisers.[15][16] The border between Israel and Lebanon was at this time was nicknamed the Good Fence.
