		Continual violence occurred between Israel and PLO from 1968, peaking in Operation Litani.
		Secondly, Israel argued it could derail the establishment of a base of operations for the PLO, from which they could mount assaults in the international arena such as the 26 December 1968 attack on an Israeli civilian airliner in Athens.
		Another reason given for the invasion was as an intervention in the ongoing Lebanese Civil War to counteract Syrian influences in Lebanon, and possibly enable the establishment of a stable Lebanese leadership from the Christian population, which would strengthen a central Lebanese Army, restore security and agree to diplomatic relations with Israel.

		The operation, officially called Operation Johnathan but widely referred as Operation Entebbe, is regard by many military experts as one of the brightest and successful covert operation ever conducted.
		Because of waves of terrorist attacks (most notable is the road massacre of 37 civilians) coming from the PLO in Lebanon, the IDF undertook Operation Litani, a wide-ranging and thorough anti-terrorist operation which included occupying part of Southern Lebanon in 1978.

		The first was Karameh, in Jordan, in 1968; and the second was the Litani Operation, in Lebanon, in 1987.
		It was an operation — wide-scale, using many forces and long-lasting — but it wasn't a war, merely another chapter in the book that began with Karameh and continued with Litani.
		Of the two tail ends of the operation, at the Church of the Nativity and Arafat's Ramallah compound, the Bethlehem crisis is relatively easy to solve.

		Nevertheless, between 1978 and 1981, 89 terrorist operations were launched against Israel from Lebanon causing the deaths of nine Israelis and wounding 57 including the infamous PLO attack on a children's nursery in Kibbutz Misgav Am.
		Although the aim of the operation was to achieve the complete cessation of rocket attacks by Hizballah, the attack was also seen as an attempt to undermine the popular support for Hizballah among the Lebanese and to prompt Syria to exercise its control over Hizballah.
		On August 16, the coordinator of Islamic resistance operations for Hizballah in south Lebanon, Ali Deeb, was killed in Sidon, in a roadside bomb explosion.

	Amnesty International: UNLAWFUL KILLINGS DURING OPERATION "GRAPES OF WRATH" Summary
		In the "Litani Operation" in March 1978, Israel took control of Lebanese territory south of the Litani River.
		The declared aim of the operation was to eradicate the threat posed by Hizbullah and to force the civilian population north to Beirut so as to put pressure on the Lebanese Government to repress Hizbullah.
		When Operation "Grapes of Wrath" began, the Islamic Scouts operation centre in Tyre took control of the al-Mansuri ambulance by supplying it with one of their regular drivers and fuel and despatching it for various humanitarian purposes.

		The presence or movements of the civilian population or individual civilians shall not be used to render certain points or areas immune from military operations, in particular in attempts to shield military objectives from attacks or to shield, favour or impede military operations.
		Operation "Grapes of Wrath" concluded when, through the intervention of the United States and France among others, a new "understanding" was reached between the various parties involved.
		In the meantime, since Operation "Grapes of Wrath" ended and as of the beginning of July, there have already been over 25 incidents in southern Lebanon, in three of which civilians have been killed or wounded and, so far as Amnesty International is aware, the Monitoring Group has not undertaken any investigations to establish responsibility.

	Israel's South Lebanon Imbroglio - Middle East Quarterly - June 1997
		The final border between the British and French mandates for Palestine and Lebanon left the Litani entirely within Lebanon, but because their interest in Lebanon was practical in nature, and not religiously or nationally motivated, Zionists greeted the loss of the Litani with disappointment but without irredentism.
		Both operations ("Accountability" in July 1993 and "Grapes of Wrath" in April 1996) aimed to break Hizbullah's ability to undertake military attacks within southern Lebanon and into northern Israel by destroying Hizbullah camps, supply lines, arms depots, and fighters.
		The real "Operation All Quiet on the Northern Front" will entail a package solution that includes Israel's total withdrawal from the security zone, the disarming of Hizbullah, protective arrangements for pro-Israeli Lebanese left behind, and stringent security arrangements along the border.

		They were well informed about the situation in the Dutch AO (area of operation), thus enabling the Dutch force to anticipate or at least react adequately.
		Following the renewed Israeli occupation of South Lebanon in 1982 code-named "Operation peace for Gallilee", UNIFIL increasingly concentrated on aiding the Lebanese population and monitoring IDF-activities in the Unifil AO, to counteract the frequent IDF raids of villages that they suspected of terrorist or guerrilla activities.
		Due to the nature of the UNIFIL mandate, soldiers were only allowed to use there weapons in self defence, and because of the occupation of the IDF in the area, the Dutch government decided to withdraw Dutchbatt as of 20 October 1983.

		The decision for a military operation where one was not clearly warranted was then com- pounded by mistakenly seeking a political objective that was simply beyond the capability of its military instrument.
		This operation would avoid an engagement with the Syrians and advance 40 kilometers to the north as measured from the town of Rosh Hanikra.

		But I don't believe that Ehud Barak would be so naive as to commit his military forces to such an operation just because the chieftain of a militia allied with Israel was assassinated and some three or four Israeli soldiers were killed in a military operation.
		Israel only resorts to large-scale military operations when it sees that its goals are attainable and that their political aims are clearly understood.
		In 1978 the goal was clear from the name given the move: "Operation Litani." It involved creating a security belt that would defend the settlers in northern Israel.

		Once a limited IDF operation was given approval, Sharon knew he could then expand the operation in its scope.
		The Cabinet was given to understand that the entire operation would take no longer than 48 hours and that its purpose was to establish a forty-kilometer buffer zone north of Israel’s border and to destroy as much of the PLO as possible in the process.

		Sunday is the 21st anniversary of Israeli troops first crossing into Lebanon as part of Operation Litani, aimed at protecting Israel's northern border from Palestinian guerrillas.
		The northward movement of 20,000 Israeli troops in Operation Litani in 1978 was followed in 1982 by Operation "Peace for Galilee" - a massive incursion which took the Israeli Defence Force all the way to Beirut in an attempt to flush Yasser Arafat and his PLO out of the country for good.
		That was criticised by the UN for what Israel called its "mistake" when it killed 100 Lebanese refugees who had been sheltering from the Israeli bombardment in a UN base at Qana, just two kilometres outside the "security zone".

		He has since modified the contention to "water, it seems, was instead trucked to units of the Israeli-supported Lebanese Army of South Lebanon in the 'security zone' and, perhaps, to some Shi'i villages in the same area as a reward for their cooperation" (Naff 1992, 6).
		Moreover, after the 1979 "Operation Litani," engineers from Mekorot developed plans to divert from 5 to 10 MCM/yr from the Wazzani springs for irrigation in Shi'ite southern Lebanon and in Israel.
		Nevertheless, because a thorough analysis of the region's options for the future depends in part on a clear understanding of what has happened in the past, it is worth investigating the theory in greater detail.
