 This fact was attested in July – August 1976, when the Phalangists, the Army of Free Lebanon and other Lebanese Front militias overrun after a long siege the Muslim-populated slum districts and adjacent Palestinian refugee camps located at East Beirut – Karantina, al-Maslakh and Tel al-Zaatar – the Tyous joined in the respective massacres and expulsion of the remaining Palestinian refugees and Muslims.In June 1978, an attack buy a combined force of some 10 Tyous' fighters and about 1,000 Phalangists led by Samir Geagea and Elie Hobeika led to the Ehden massacre; whereby their rival Tony Frangieh responsible for the murder of many Phalangists leaders in North Lebanon, was killed along with his family.Later in July 1980, the Tyous helped once again Bashir and his Phalange-dominated LF in unifying the Christian militias once and for all, by launching a swift attack against the fighters of NLP Tigers Militia in several locations, mainly in the Safra beach resort.
