The article discusses Walid Jumblatt's memoirs about the Mountain War in Lebanon in 1983. He explains that Syria and the Soviet Union provided him with military support to liberate the Shouf region from the armed Christian Lebanese Forces. He pointed out that Syria's support helped in reclaiming strategic areas such as Bhamdoun, which led to a mass displacement of up to 170,000 Christians from the region. He affirmed that the goal was to free the Shouf, not to target Christians as a community. Jumblatt also expressed his remorse over the tragedies of the war, especially the departure of some Christian families. He noted that his fight was aimed at safeguarding the interests of the Druze.
