Leading the attack was [[Fatah]]'s Abu Musa.<ref>[https://www.ict.org.il/Article/1036/PLO-Policy-towards-the-Christian-Community-during-the-Civil-War PLO Policy towards the Christian Community during the Civil War in Lebanon], ICT, May 7, 2008.
''...a joint coalition of Sai'qa, Fatah, PFLP, PDFLP, the Mourabiton and left wing Muslim militias, began surrounding the Christian town of Damour (population 25,000). It had one public hospital where Muslims and Christians were treated equally. The commander of the assault, Zuheir-Mouhsein, was later known as "The Butcher of Damour". Assisting Mouhsein was Fatah commander Colonel Abu Musa. Mouhsein was eventually targeted by the Mossad in 1979, hence the disintegration of Sai'qa. The siege of Damour began on January 9, 1976. According to British journalist Robert Fisk, Abu Musa actually led the attack.''</ref>
