The Syria-dominated “Arab Deterrent Force” did not fare much better when it intervened in Lebanon’s civil war in the 1980s, failing either to end the brutal fighting or to secure vulnerable Palestinian refugees. After 1982, when the Lebanese government failed to extend the ADF’s mandate, it turned into a purely Syrian military force – one that ended up committing some of the worst atrocities against Palestinian factions and refugees in the so-called “War of the Camps” in 1985.
20世纪80年代叙利亚主导“阿拉伯威慑部队”干预黎巴嫩内战的情况也并未好到哪去，既未能结束那场残酷的战争，也未能保护弱势的巴勒斯坦难民群体。1982年黎巴嫩政府未能延续“阿拉伯威慑部队”授权后，该部队演变成一支纯粹的叙利亚部队——这支部队随后在1985年所谓“难民营战争”中上演了针对巴勒斯坦派别和难民的最恐怖的屠杀行为。
