In 1982, Israel engaged in a war with Lebanon primarily to combat the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), which had established a strong presence in southern Lebanon and was launching attacks into northern Israel. The Israeli government aimed to eliminate the PLO's military capabilities and establish a friendly government in Lebanon that could provide security along its northern border. This military operation, known as Operation Peace for Galilee, escalated into a broader conflict involving various Lebanese factions and Syrian forces. The war ultimately led to a prolonged Israeli occupation of southern Lebanon.
