Sri Lanka primarily targeted the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) during its civil war, which lasted from 1983 to 2009. The LTTE sought an independent Tamil state in the north and east of Sri Lanka, driven by grievances over ethnic discrimination and political marginalization of the Tamil population. The Sri Lankan government viewed the LTTE as a terrorist organization and aimed to eliminate their armed insurgency to maintain national sovereignty and unity. The conflict resulted in significant loss of life and widespread human rights violations on both sides.
