Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982
In 1982, the Israeli government led by Manacham Begin launched a large-scale invasion of Lebanon in order to remove the Palestinian group PLO from the country. The invasion resulted in significant casualties and violence, including a massacre of hundreds of civilians in the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps. The invasion also contributed to the rise of Hezbollah, a powerful Iranian-backed Shiite group in Lebanon, which has since posed a major threat to Israel's security.
