Nahr al Bared 2007, Lebanon. The forgotten war

Late in the night of Saturday May 19, 2007, a building was surrounded by Lebanese Internal Security Forces (ISF) in which a group of Fatah al-Islam militants accused of taking part in a bank robbery earlier that day were hiding. The ISF attacked the building early on Sunday May 20 2007, unleashing a day long battle between the ISF and Fatah al-Islam militants on 200 Street, Tripoli.

As a response, members of Fatah al-Islam in Nahr al-Bared Camp (16 km from Tripoli) attacked an army checkpoint, killing several soldiers in their sleep. The army immediately responded by shelling the camp.

The artillery shelling continued for over 3 months, completely leveling to ground the camp of 31,000 residents, who fled to nearby Beddawi camp.

On 21th August Fatah al-Islam terrorists asked for a ceasefire.

On 2th September 38 terrorists were killed and 24 captured while trying to flee the camp. 35 managed to escape.

On 7th September Lebanese army declared a victory in Nahr Al Bared.

[blobguy1212]

these types of palestinians are what we call traiters. we gave them a home , a safe place to live , we protected them as much as we could in the 1980's and this is how they repay us. by stealing from us , and killing our soldiers. They deserved to die

The Damour massacre is a tragedy.U must blame the Chamoun family & A7rar party for Damour.The A7rar set up roadblocks there,arrested & murdered hundreds of Muslim Lebanese & Palestinians who crossed their checkpoint.This provoked the Muslims & Palestinians so the Lebanese National Movem't allied with the PLO retaliated & overran Damour.Warcrimes cant be justified,yet history stated that Damour was a retaliation for the kataeb's murder hundreds of Muslims in Karantina & Black Saturday
