On the evening of June 3, 1982, the Israeli Ambassador in London was shot and seriously wounded by an Arab gunman. Within hours, Israeli planes were bombing Beirut, killing over 200 people. In retaliation, forces of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) based in southern Lebanon fired shells and rockets into northern Israel on June 4 and 5.
