The Israelis begin to raid the south…

July 1970 CE

The Israelis begin to raid the south of Lebanon with increasing severity when the Lebanese fail to restrain the Palestinians.

Twenty Lebanese civilians are killed in retaliatory shelling of the Lebanese town of Bint Jubayl, which appears to have been selected at random.

This behavior encourages the Lebanese Christian right, particularly the militant Phalangist Party, to attack the Palestinians with its well-organized and well-armed militia.
