The case in the Supreme Court was brought by survivors of what was by any account a brutal massacre of mostly Muslim Palestinian men, women and children in the refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila by a Lebanese paramilitary group known as the Phalangists, which was composed mainly of Christian Arabs.
The plaintiffs in the Belgian court case alleged that Ariel Sharon, then Minister of Defense of Israel, as well as several commanders of the Israeli Defense Forces, were responsible for the death of the Palestinians in Sabra and Shatila.
This decision was based on the findings of the Kahane Commission established by the Israeli Government to investigate the massacres in Sabra and Shatila, which found that Ariel Sharon and several other IDF commanders at the time of the massacre were at the most "indirectly responsible" for the massacres.
