Beirut clashes (apr 15, 1988 – apr 25, 1988)

Description:

During the early stages of an Amal offensive on April 5, 1988,[59] Hezbollah managed to occupy Nabatieh and the surrounding villages.[56] It seized Amal positions and offices in the town, as well as in Ghazieh.[60] In a counterattack, however, Amal retook Nabatieh. It proceeded to attack Hezbollah militants in Tyre and its surroundings, and took the conflict further south to Siddikine. The fighting had gone uninterrupted, despite mediation attempts by a local imam in Nabatieh.[56] Amal had retaken positions it had lost earlier in the fighting, in addition to the three villages of Jebchit, Doueir and Zawtar, previously considered Hezbollah strongholds.[61]
