Beirut 1982: The Siege That Changed the Middle East

6 min•27 april 2026

In the summer of 1982, Beirut was under a brutal Israeli siege that lasted over two months. This episode zooms in on that pivotal moment, from the invasion code-named 'Peace for Galilee' to the daily horrors of bombardment, the role of the PLO led by Yasser Arafat, and the diplomatic wrangling that led to a dramatic evacuation. We explore the human cost—thousands of civilians killed in a city of 500,000—and the political aftershocks, including the Sabra and Shatila massacre. Lucas and Luna also touch on the multinational force and the forgotten role of local militias. How did this siege reshape Lebanon and the broader Middle East? A raw, grounded look at modern urban warfare and survival.
