  • Following the assassination of Gemayel in September 1982, Israel’s position in Beirut became untenable and the signing of a peace treaty became increasingly unlikely. There was outrage at the IDF’s role in the Phalangist-perpetrated Sabra and Shatila massacre of Palestinians and Lebanese Shias. This stoked Israeli public disillusionment with the war. The IDF withdrew from Beirut and ended its operation on 29 September 1982.[33] The May 17 Agreement of 1983 ended the state of war between Israel and Lebanon, and provided for an Israeli withdrawal from the country. Amid rising casualties from guerrilla attacks, the IDF retreated south of the Awali river on 3 September 1983.[34]

    From February to April 1985, the Israeli military undertook a phased withdrawal to its “South Lebanon security zone” along the border. The Israeli occupation saw the emergence of Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed Shia Islamist group.[35] It waged a guerrilla war against the Israeli occupation until the IDF’s final withdrawal from Lebanon in 2000.[36] In Israel, the 1982 invasion is also known as the First Lebanon War.[ii]

    Reagan got them to stop bombing Beirut temporarily, but the occupation was ended by guerilla forces and mounting public disillusionment regarding the direction of the war.
