South Lebanon conflict (1985–2000)

The South Lebanon conflict was an armed conflict in Israeli-occupied southern Lebanon. It lasted from 1985,[1] to 2000 when Israel's military left the area. Israel and their ally of the, Catholic Christian-dominated South Lebanon Army (SLA) had to fight Hezbollah, along with other Shia Muslim and left-wing dispersed and chaotic forces. The SLA was supported heavily by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and operated within the Israeli-backed South Lebanon provisional administration, which came after the earlier Israeli-backed Free Lebanon State, which was an unrecognized separatist entity in southern Lebanon that was subordinate to Israel. Israel officially calls the conflict the Security Zone in Lebanon Campaign and deems it to have begun on 30 September 1982, after the end of its "Operation Peace for Galilee". After the end of its "Operation Peace for Galilee". It can also be seen as an extension of the Lebanese Civil War (1975–1990).
