International Campaign for Justice for the Victims of Sabra and Shatila |
The Sabra and Shatila Massacres On Thursday 16 September 1982 a unit of approximately 150 Israeli-allied Phalangists entered one of two refugee camps in West Beirut. For the next 40 hours members of the Phalangist militia raped, killed, and injured a large number of unarmed civilians -- mostly children, women and elderly people inside the encircled and sealed camps. The estimated number of victims varies between 700 (the official Israeli figure) to 3,500. To this day the victims and survivors of the massacres have not been permitted a formal legal investigation. The Israeli Defense Minister at the time of the massacres was Ariel SHARON. Today he is the Prime Minister of Israel and responsible for the current occupation of Palestine and continued raids on Palestinian refugee camps. |
