The Aishiyeh massacre was a massacre in 1976 in Aishiya,[2] Lebanon, of more than 70 Lebanese Christian civilians,[3] including at least 7 under the age of 16, by the Syrian backed Palestinian factions Fatah and As-Sa'iqa during the Lebanese Civil War. Four people were reported to be executed and one was burned alive.[1] The village was depopulated and used as Palestine Liberation Organization base of operation.[4] The Online Encyclopedia of Mass Violence estimated that at least 100 people were injured in the attack.[3]
The town was attacked again by Saika on November 5, 1977, killing 41 people.[5]
