Restructuring edit
The subsections U.N. condemnation, MacBride commission and Israeli Kahan commission are listed under the section "Postwar testimonies by Lebanese Forces operatives" despite having nothing (or very little) to do with the testimonies. I propose to restructure the article to move the postwar testimony paragraph to a subsection of "Role of various parties" and to rename the section about the UN condemnation and the two mentioned commissions to something along the gist of "International Response and Investigations".
Sharon libel suit edit
I think it is worth mentioning that Sharon pursued a similar suit against Time in an Israeli court, which was settled by both parties with compensation which was reported as substantial ("Neither party would disclose the amount of the payment, but the Israeli radio reported that the figure was substantial" - https://www.nytimes.com/1986/01/23/nyregion/time-magazine-and-sharon-settle-the-libel-suit-he-filed-in-israel.html).

- What I think should be changed (format using {{textdiff}}):
− sidebar:460[2]to 3,500[3] (number disputed)+ sidebar: 700 to 3,500[3] (number disputed) - Why it should be changed:
The change was proposed in Talk:Sabra_and_Shatila_massacre#Are_there_modern_sources_that_state_the_number_of_casualties_as_low_as_460?
The main argument is the source cited for the 460 figure casts doubt on it [1]. Today it does not seem to be any support for the accuracy of this figure.

You could also add information from Bayan Nuwayhed al-Hout's book but it's not necessary:
- named, missing (persumed dead): "32 females (women and young girls)" p. 292
- female victims named, confirmed dead: 201 (p.292)
- for children she says "In List 3, age is only sometimes mentioned: for 585 victims out of a total of 906. Of these, children account for 108 (18.46%)." (p. 292)
List 3 are those named and confirmed dead.
- Why it should be changed:
typo. The linked source says twenty but an editor must've misread tweleve.
