...first army ever to have driven Israel from Arab territory. Instead of being reined in by the heavy hand of Damascus, the guerrilla movement found itself at liberty to step up attacks to reinforce its claim to the mantle of Lebanon's liberators. In the unilateral withdrawal scenario, Israel's only defense against rocket attacks on its northern population centers is the promise that retaliation would be swift and brutal.
