The Zrarieh raid was an Israeli raid on the Lebanese village of Zrarieh in Southern Lebanon on 11 March 1985. During the raid between 21 and 40[1][2][3][4] residents were killed.[5][6][7]
According to the Israeli Chief of Staff overseeing operations in South Lebanon at the time, Moshe Levi, the operation was preemptive rather than punitive, and had been in planning for a week, on the basis of intelligence that attacks were being organized against Israeli forces in the area.[2] Excluding the victims of air raids, it constituted the deadliest Israeli action in Lebanon in 30 months,[2] since the summer of 1982.[8]
