@Jokkmokks-Goran: First of all, great work with this very interesting article! Now, while only Hezbollah is listed as a combatant in the infobox, the article states that Amal fighters participated as well. This makes me wonder: Among the 20 fighters stated to have participated, how many belonged to each group? And should Amal be listed as a combatant? I'd like to hear what you think, as you seem to have really done your homework on this one. Mikrobølgeovn (talk) 22:14, 10 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The whole operation (all the 20 fighters) was Hezeb alone. The only problem was that this was in AMAL territory and Hezeb had to ask for permission. AMAL agreed to let Hezeb run its show and act as a backup. The actual battle was over in less than 4 minutes (except the Druze doctor who died much later). But yes AMAL did take part, as did the Lebanese army (firing flares and anti-aircraft fire). So I guess you're right.
