    beirut was reputed to have been a nice place before the wars - a little slice of the Riviera in the Middle East. Shame about all the crazies.

    It still is a nice place, or at least it was when I was there in 2006. But yeah, it would be bettter without fanatics.

    I noticed in a few pictures people firing large recoiless rifles from the shoulder... how much do those weigh, and what type / nationality are they?

    thanks in advance, this is a really interesting thread.

    Great pictures Zeev. Some of the pictures give me shivers knowing what Beirut was like, for I'll be back there in less than 3 weeks.

    US Marines in Beirut.


    The new Commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen Paul X. Kelley, briefs the press during his August 1983 visit to the 24th MAU. To his left is Sixth Fleet commander VAdm Edward H. Martin, USN. Gen Kelley was to return to Lebanon less than two months later.

    A Battery C, 10th Marines M-198 155mm howitzer at the north end of Beirut International Airport points toward the Shiite guns which fired on Marines on 29 August.



    Marines on the roof of a Lebanese University building view an artillery round impacting near a Company A, BLT 1/8, position on the MAU perimeter in late September 1983.
