Green Line (Lebanon)

At the beginning of the Civil War, the division was not absolute as some Muslims lived East of the Green Line and some Christians lived in West Beirut; but, as the Civil War continued, each sector became more homogeneous as minorities left the sector they were in.

Many of the buildings along the Green Line were severely damaged or destroyed during the war.

Since the end of hostilities, however, many of the buildings have been rebuilt within the framework of the urban renewal project of Solidere in Centre Ville (Downtown).

[1] The Green Line was a vulnerable point for both West and East Beirut.

The residents on both sides of the line disapproved of the presence of the Palestine Liberation Army.
