The Marada Movement (Arabic: تيار المردة, romanized: Tayyār Al-Marada) is a Lebanese political party and a former militia active during the Lebanese Civil War named after the legendary Marada (also called Mardaites) warriors of the early Middle Ages that fought on the external edge of the Byzantine Empire.

The Marada were a group of independent communities in Lebanon and the surrounding highlands after the conquest of Syria by the Arab army in 630 CE.

A new alliance was formed between Suleiman Frangieh and Prime Minister Rachid Karami to counter the Lebanese Front's plan that called for separate enclaves/cantons of Christians, Druze and Muslims.

[6] Kataeb member at the time Samir Geagea, who allegedly headed the Phalangist force responsible for the Ehden massacre, admitted that he was among the "military squad" that was in charge of the Ehden "operation", but he denied taking part in the massacre, claiming that he was shot in his right hand before getting to the area and was taken to a hospital.

After the elections, Frangieh formed the Independent National Bloc (Arabic: التكتل الوطني) with Farid Haykal Khazen, Faisal Karami, Jihad Al Samad and Jbeil Shia MP Moustafa Husseini.

Those killed include: Riad Abi Khater in Batroun, Pierre Ishac in Bsarma and Tony Issa in Dahr al ain.
