New Christian offensive in Lebanese civil war drives Palestinians from Meten
Beir ut reports say Christian Phalangist forces launch a new campaign to evict Palestinians from Meten area overlooking Beirut. Militias backed by tanks assault Aintoura while Beirut’s commercial districts and nearby suburbs see continued fighting. About 90 killed and 135 wounded overnight. Talks between Al Fatah and Phalange on a buffer line surface, but cease-fire terms remain disputed. The Tal Zaatar camp seizure strengthens Christian control of East Beirut and the Christian hinterland north of the capital.
