Elie Hobeika

Elie Hobeika commanded the Christian Lebanese Forces militia, which killed hundreds of Palestinian refugees in the Sabra and Shatilla refugee camps in Lebanon in 1982.

In 1983 an Israeli inquiry into the camp massacres said that Ariel Sharon bore indirect responsibility and that Elie Hobeika did not enter the camps, but directed Christian militiamen via radio communications who then did the killing.

Elie Hobeika was killed with a car bomb in Beirut, Lebanon on 24 January 2002.
