17 marzo 1976 anni - Central Beirut offensive begins

Descrizione:

The Hotel district flared up again on March 17, the day when the LNM-PLO joint forces, backed by the Shi'ite Amal Movement militia and the Lebanese Arab Army (LAA) – a predominately Muslim splinter faction of the official Lebanese Army led by the dissident Sunni Lieutenant Ahmed al-Khatib – launched an all-out offensive against rightist positions in central Beirut.
