In 1973, Israeli commandos landed in Beirut and assassinated three Palestinian leaders in their homes, sparking a Lebanese army counter-assault that turned the city into a war zone. Hosts Lucas and Luna unpack the raid's targets, the failed Lebanese response, and the diplomatic aftershocks that shattered the state's fragile authority. Featuring the PFLP's George Habash, the Popular Front's Ghassan Kanafani, President Suleiman Franjieh, Prime Minister Saeb Salam, and Defense Minister Najjar, this episode traces how the attack exposed Lebanon's paralysis, forced Salam's resignation, and set the stage for the civil war. A story of state weakness, foreign intervention, and the price of survival in the Middle East.
