What happened on Wednesday April 09, 1980?

Here's what happened on April 09, 1980:

• Israeli military incursion into Lebanon on April 9, 1980 On April 9, 1980, hundreds of Israeli troops, accompanied by tanks and armored vehicles, crossed into southern Lebanon, establishing positions approximately three miles inside the border. This operation aimed to intercept Palestinian guerrilla squads suspected of infiltrating Israel. The Israeli forces dug trenches, built bunkers, and set up barbed-wire fences, indicating an intention for an extended presence. The incursion followed a Palestinian commando raid on a northern Israeli kibbutz, which resulted in the deaths of an Israeli soldier and two civilians, including a child. The Israeli military's actions were perceived as a direct response to these attacks, reflecting a lack of confidence in the United Nations peacekeeping force's ability to prevent guerrilla infiltration. The operation was the most significant Israeli incursion into Lebanon in nearly a year. The Israeli Army refused to disclose details of its cross-border operation, stating only that "patrols" were in southern Lebanon "as a precaution against possible terrorist activity." source: washingtonpost.com
