貝魯特圍城戰
貝魯特圍城戰是1982年第五次中東戰爭期間的一場戰鬥，當時聯合國試圖調停黎巴嫩內戰，交戰各方一度簽署停火協議，但之後停火協議破裂，貝魯特遭到以色列圍攻。從六月中旬開始的持續兩個月的貝魯特圍困導致巴勒斯坦解放組織被驅逐出貝魯特，黎巴嫩其他地區的巴勒斯坦解放組織也被驅逐[1]。

Dating from the siege of Beirut in 1982, Israel has practiced a complex and limited form of urban warfare. In Beirut, this involved a cordon around the city, accompanied by limited attacks with artillery, ground, and air forces to put pressure on the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) and Syrian forces inside. The IDF did not launch a general assault on the city; it awaited a political solution that resulted in evacuation of enemy forces under the auspices of outside powers. Despite the IDF's restraint, it was depicted as little short of barbaric by much of the international media. The PLO's evacuation was treated as a victory parade, rather than the retreat it was, and the PLO lived to fight another day. The battle was a tactical victory for Israel, but a strategic defeat.
