Damour massacre
Massacre during the Lebanese Civil War
The Damour massacre took place on 20 January 1976, during the 1975–1990 Lebanese Civil War. Damour, a Maronite Christian town on the main highway south of Beirut, was attacked by militants of the Palestine Liberation Organisation and as-Sa'iqa. Many residents were killed or forced to flee. The attack was retaliation for the Karantina massacre by the Phalangists.
