The Qaa massacre (Arabic: مجزرة القاع) took place on June 28 1978, four villages in Baalback were attacked Ras Baalback, Qaa, Fakiha and Jdeide.
The New York Times reported that the victims were believed to have taken part in the killing of 34 people two weeks ago in the northern town of Ehden. The report quotes Camille Chamoun as saying that the attack on the four villages was by “non-Lebanese, non-civilians” and that the gunmen entered the villages with lists of names. Phalangist radio reported forty people were kidnapped and twenty-six of them killed. The dead were reported to be members of the Phalangist Kataeb party and Chamoun’s National Liberal Party.[1]
