The 1982 Lebanon War and the Siege of Beirut
Om avsnittet
We explore the intense summer of 1982 when Israel invaded southern Lebanon, aiming to dismantle the PLO’s military infrastructure in Beirut. Lucas and Luna trace the movement of General Ariel Sharon’s forces as they bypassed traditional defensive lines, leading to the brutal siege of West Beirut. The conversation focuses on the humanitarian crisis inside the city, the role of the Multi-National Force, and the eventual departure of Yasser Arafat under international pressure. We examine how this conflict reshaped Lebanese politics, entrenched sectarian divisions, and set the stage for decades of instability, moving beyond the battlefield to the human cost of survival in a divided capital.
