📅 13 April 1975 📍 Libanon

Following an earlier shooting near a church, Kataeb gunmen attacked a bus carrying Palestinian and Lebanese passengers. Accounts differ on passenger numbers and the day’s preceding incidents. Result: escalating clashes between Lebanese militias and Palestinian organisations; impact: the beginning of a prolonged civil war, not simply an Israel–Palestine conflict.
