Lebanon | Civil War | Middle East | 1983

I am an Italian Bersagliere and served in this war in 1983/1984

its sad how even this primitive journalism is much much better with more integrity than we are capable of achieving today

Respect to those nurses in those (intalian)hospitals,amen!!!

Was in Beirut last year (October 2018). Boy, has that place changed. It was once (in the 1970s, before the civil war) considered the "Paris of the Middle East" and it's turning into that again. One thing this report didn't mention was that the Constitution of Lebanon calls for the President to always be from the Maronite (Christian) community and even within the Maronite community there are factions; and one of them is the Phalangists who the President shown in this video (Bachir Gemayel) is a part of. The Phalangists sided with the Israelis in order to secure power and the multinational force led by the United States were really there to back the Israelis. So, the US and French in particular were there to support Gemayel who in turn was backed/supported by Israel which the other Lebanese didn't like. Hence the reason why they were attacked.

Please I recently came back from Lebanon this summer of 2019 since my last visit when the Civil War ended in 1990. I think the only way Lebanon can become stable is to become a secular country and build a new constitution outside of sectarian division that it currently has. Play speaking to people it is clear that it still exists there and unfortunately with corruption in the government it's not making things any better. I pray there will be no war!

THAT ITALIAN CAPTAIN AND HIS MOOSTASH! They dont make them like that anymore

International forces in Lebanon in fact was NATO forces with MARINS comes to Lebanon just to support Israel not for Lebanon

Who else is from lebanon?

Lebanon needs a miracle 🙏😫

My grandad was one of the British soldiers in this war.

I was there as a Marine 1982, 83 and 84. Always wanted to go back and start a window repair company.

الله يرحم ايام زمان وكان فيك رجال يا لبنان

So basically this is the Syrian Civil War part 1.....

As a member of the US Peacekeepers US Navy in Lebanon I can say this time was when we thought the worst was over. A few weeks after this we took a Terrorist attack killing 241 US Peacekeepers, 220 Marine, 18 Sailors and 3 Soldiers at the same time the French lost 58 in an identical attack. We were there to support the people of Lebanon not the terrorist. This host seems to hate the US and the French.

5:40 lucky fool
