Syrian Army attack against Joint Forces

On September 23, 1976, Elias Sarkis was elected president. Five days later, the Syrian Army led a massive attack against all the positions of the Joint Forces, starting in Zahleh, then spreading toward Tarchich, Mtein, Hammana, and Falougha with the aim of restoring control over the areas that the Joint Forces had taken over in March-May 1976.
