Late 1960s - Growing Militancy

The Israel-Lebanon border witnessed a significant escalation in tensions due to growing militancy. This period saw the increased presence and activity of Palestinian factions like the PLO in Lebanon, which conducted cross-border attacks into Israel. In response, Israel carried out military reprisals, leading to a cycle of violence that further strained relations between them. This era marked a shift from sporadic skirmishes to more organized and frequent militant operations, signaling a new phase in the dynamics.
