The History of Zionist Attacks on Lebanon

Israel’s attacks on Lebanon did not begin in 1978 or 1982. They go back to 1948, when Israeli forces crossed into southern Lebanon during Operation Hiram. In Hula, Zionist occupation troops carried out a massacre whose reported death toll varies across sources, but it is widely recognized as one of the earliest mass killings committed by Israeli forces on Lebanese soil. Although Israeli forces withdrew after the 1949 armistice agreement with Lebanon, the ceasefire did not end the violence. Southern Lebanese villages continued to face raids, shelling, and repeated violations of Lebanese sovereignty.
