In early June 1976, Syria launched a full-scale invasion of Lebanon officially to end the civil war and restore peace, but unofficialy, it became clear, to crush the Palestinians. During the course of the fighting there had been more that 50 abortive cease-fires and an estimated 60,000 people had been killed and some 100,000 injured.
