This report is a study of urban combat in and around the city of Sidon during the 1982 Israeli campaign to eradicate the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in Lebanon. The report includes discussions of operations, weapons, tactics, command and control, and psychological operations as viewed by both sides in the conflict. The report further reviews the complex political atmosphere that shaped military operations. Along with its companion studies, The Battle of Tyre (McLaurin, 1987) and The Battle of Beirut, 1982 (McLaurin, 1986), this report provides insight into the issues of urban combat in a highly politicized, limited warfare operation. The effectiveness with which the Israel Defense Force surprised, isolated, and eliminated PLO forces in Sidon (and Tyre) contrasts sharply with difficulties later encountered in the siege of Beirut.
