<blockquote>
Since 1975, about 150,000 Christians were killed during the war. Thousands of Lebanese Muslims died as well. Entire Christian villages were erased and their populations were ethnically cleansed.
In Damur (south of Beirut), for example, a thousand Christian civilians were killed while the armed bands shouted "Allahu Akbar" and "Jihad" (Holy war slogans) Churches were burned down by dozens. An account of the horrors is too long to include in this testimony.
Here are few examples of massacres:
1975: Belt Mellat, Deir Eshash Tall Abbas (north Lebanon), Damur (Mount Lebanon)
1976: Chekka (north Lebanon), Qaa, Terbol (Bekaa valley)
1977: Aishye (south Lebanon), Maaser el-Shuf (Shuf Mountain)
1978: Ras Baalbeck, Shleefa (Bekaa valley)
1983: Major massacres in Aley, and the Shuf mountains. Ia addition to the 241 U.S. Marines and 78 French paratroopers savagely assassinated by Hizbollah
1984: Iqlim el-Kharrub (Mourn Lebanon)
1985: East Sidon (South Lebanon)
1990: Matn district</blockquote></ref> with help of feftists Lebanese.<ref name= nytimes/>[https://www.nytimes.com/1976/07/07/archives/christians-in-northern-lebanon-report-repulse-of-leftist-attack.html Christians in Northern Lebanon Report Repulse of Leftist Attack], The New York Times, July 7, 1976, Page 3.<blockquote>
BEIRUT, Lebanon, July 6 (AP)—Heavy fighting was reported in northern Lebanon today, with Lebanese Christians asserting that they had beaten back an assault by Lebanese leftists and their Palestinian allies into Christian‐held areas.
Figures compiled from hospitals and security sources indicated that mere than 200 people were killed in the last 24 hours.
Palestinians charged that troops of Syria's expeditionary force in Lebanon were helping the Christians in a counterattack.</blockquote></ref>
