The Guardians of the Cedars (GoC; Arabic: حراس الأرز; Ḥurrās al-Arz) was a far-right ultranationalist Lebanese party and former militia in Lebanon. It was formed by Étienne Saqr (also known with the kunya "Abu Arz" or "Father of the Cedars") and others along with the Lebanese Renewal Party in the early 1970s. It operated in the Lebanese Civil War under the slogan: Lebanon, at your service. The militia was explicitly Anti-Palestinian, and gained a reputation for brutality against Palestinian fighters and civilians.
