Line 47:

During the [[Lebanese Civil War]], Fatah aligned itself with the communist and [[Gamal Abdel Nasser|Nasserist]] [[Lebanese National Movement]] to overthrow the Lebanese government. This lead Syrian president [[Hafez al-Assad]], who had initially supported Fatah, to switch sides, fearing loss of influence in Lebanon. The war began for Fatah when al-Assad's Christian militias killed 26 Fatah trainees, and later attacked a Palestinian refugee camp and killed 1,000 civilians. Fatah and its allies retaliated by killing 684 civilians in the Christian militia stronghold of Damour. The Christian militia later took a pivotal position and slaughtered hundreds of Palestinian militants. Afterwards, Fatah carried out the [[Coastal Road massacre]], during which they killed 37 civilians. This prompted the IDF to launch an offensive against Fatah in Lebanon, and took all of their strongholds in South Lebanon. The IDF later besieged Fatah's stronghold in Beirut, eventually forcing them to withdraw from Lebanon.

After Arafat's death in 2004, [[Farouk Kaddoumi]] took over as leader, and nominated Mahmoud Abbas in the 2005 Palestinian presidential elections, only for [[Hamas]] to win a majority. Hamas then barred many Hamas members from entering the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. The two groups later reconciled, and both joined together to form the [[Palestinian Unity Government]], but this alliance later fell apart after both attempted to seize control by replacing the cabinet with their own supporters.
