The Phalangists are the militia arm of the right-wing Maronite Kataeb Party[1]. They played a major role in the fight against the PLO in the 1978-2000 South Lebanon conflict, and are infamous for having carried out the Tel al-Zaatar massacre[2], in which a refugee camp was destroyed, and 3,000 Palestinians were killed.
