The War of Elimination or War of Attrition (Arabic: حرب الإلغاء)[1] was an inter-Christian military conflict, within the final phase of the Lebanese Civil War, that took place in late January 1990, between the Lebanese Army, led by General Michel Aoun and the Lebanese Forces led by Samir Geagea,[2] where hundreds were killed and thousands injured.[3] The confrontation ended with the Syrian army invading the Christian areas,[4] the exile of Aoun to France,[5] and Geagea's 11 years imprisonment.[6] This marked the end of the civil war, and as some believe, the Lebanese Forces ended the war.
