The '''Phalangists''' are the militia arm of the right-wing [[Maronite]] [[Kataeb Party]]<ref>http://www.socialdemocratic.org/kataeb/ (in French)</ref>. 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<ref>p165, William Harris, Faces of Lebanon. Sects, Wars, and Global Extensions (Markus Wiener Publishers, Princeton, USA 1996)</ref>, in which a refugee camp was destroyed, and 3,000 [[Palestine|Palestinians]] were killed.
