But Lebanon\u2019s position as a haven for terrorist groups has made this impossible. In March 1978, PLO terrorists infiltrated Israel. After murdering an American tourist walking near an Israeli beach, they hijacked a civilian bus. The terrorists shot through the windows as the bus traveled down the highway.

In response, Israeli forces crossed into Lebanon and overran terrorist bases in the southern part of that country, pushing the terrorists away from the border.

But UN troops were unable to prevent terrorists from reinfiltrating the region and introducing new, more dangerous arms<\/em>.\u201d \u2013 <strong>Background and Overview (1982-1985) \u2013 First
