South Lebanon, History of a Besieged Village

1976

Synopsis

The ceasefire declared on October 21st, 1976 gives the fedayin the opportunity to reclaim what had been Fatah territory until it was abandoned in 1970, from the right-wing militia. Syrians and Israelis join together to neutralize this “autonomous force” of Palestinians and impose a siege on two Lebanese frontier villages, Hanine and Kfarchouba, before attacking them.
