Summary:Beirut, the Lebanese capital, was in a state of almost continuous war from July to October. Syrian heavy guns pounded the Christian residential sector. The bombardment, which caused heavy casualties, appeared to be aimed at destroying civilian morale, and ultimately at driving the Maronite community out of Beirut altogether. NOTE: Date is approximate. This clip may contain footage from multiple events; exact date or dates may be unknown.
