The 1996 Sohmor massacre, also known as the second Sohmor massacre, was carried out on 12 April 1996 when Israel Defence Forces shelled the village of Sohmor, Lebanon, killing 8 civilians.

The Kfarmelki raid was carried out on 21 March 1985 in the Lebanese Southern town Kfarmelki, and resulted in the death of 21 people. Two CBS News journalists, Tafik Ghazawi and Bahije Metni, were also killed, while their driver Ayad Hassan Harake was injured.[1][2][3][4]

Nytimes: "The blast came a day after Israeli troops ended a 24-hour siege of Marakah"[6]

Wpost: "came less than 30 hours after the last units of a large Israeli force left Maarakeh following a search of the village."[7]

Soon after the invasion, Israel appointed military governors in the main southern towns, bypassing the administration of the Lebanese state. Residents of Tyre and Sidon were asked to register for new identification papers, issued by Israel. A questionnaire circulated to the villages of the south, asking for "the names, ages, occupation, religious/political affiliation of every inhabitant of the village, including questions about relatives living abroad"

"To consolidate their bureaucratic hold on the South, the Israelis undertook extensive road-building works, started a postal service between the South and Israel, and connected Lebanese telephones near the Israeli border into the Israeli system"
