[edit] LF artillery covering the syrians in october 1990

It is very well known that LF artillery covered the syrian attack on the 13th of october 90, no need to hide behind fingers.

For information & sources read "chronique du Liban rebelle" de Daniel Rondeau & " Les secret de la guerre du Liban" d'Alain Ménargues.

First of all, what you describe as "very well known" is a disputed fact that remains unsolved since 1990.

Second, your sources of information are biased for the following reasons: concerning Daniel Rondeau, it is "very well known" that he was and probably still a very good friend of Michel Aoun, so his testimony is a subjective POV (check [1]). As for Alain Ménargues, his book is about the 1980-1982 period so what does it have to do with our topic?

Third, the Syrian attack occurred at the end of the annihilation war when the intensity of the fighting between the Lebanese Forces and the Lebanese Army led by Michel Aoun was decreasing. The Syrian Army did not even need the intervention of the LF because their Air Force was striking the Army's positions. In addition, the Lebanese Army led by Emile Lahoud participated in the attack.

When you talk about "a massive artillery cover fire from the Lebanese Forces militia", you imply an agreement between the LF and the Syrian Army which never happened. I suggest that we replace this sentence by "a massive airstrike cover from the Syrian Air Force".
