Beirut 1975: The Bus Massacre That Ignited Civil War
On April 13, 1975, a busload of Palestinians was ambushed in the Christian suburb of Ain el-Roumane, killing 27 passengers. This episode peels back the events of that day and the weeks that followed, when a shooting at a church, a retaliatory bus attack, and the formation of militias turned Beirut into a battleground. We examine the Phalangists' rise under Pierre Gemayel, the Palestinian-Lebanese tensions stoked by the Cairo Agreement, and the Battle of the Hotels that carved up the city. Lucas and Luna discuss the breakdown of the Chehabist state, the role of Camille Chamoun and the Lebanese Front, and how a single spark in a divided city led to 15 years of war.
