IDF raid legacy continues to fuel Israeli-Palestinian conflict in Lebanon after 50 years.

50 years after an Israeli commando team killed three top officials from the Palestine Liberation Organization in Beirut, Lebanon remains a battleground for Israel and its opponents. Last week, there was an exchange of rocket fire and airstrikes across the border between Israel and Palestinian terror groups in Lebanon. The raid in 1973 signaled a new era in which regional powers repeatedly intervened in Lebanon. Since the end of the civil war, Hezbollah has stepped in as Israel’s main adversary in Lebanon, while Palestinian factions also still have a presence.
