<P0-S0> The Mountain War (Arabic: حرب الجبل‎ ‎ | "Harb al-Jabal"), also known as the War of the Mountain and Guerre de la Montagne in French, was a subconflict between the 1982–83 phase of the Lebanese Civil War and the 1984–89 phase of the Lebanese Civil War, which occurred at the mountainous Chouf District located south-east of the Lebanese Capital Beirut. <P0-S1>  It pitted the Christian Lebanese Forces militia (LF) and the official Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) against a coalition of anti-government Muslim leftist militias led by the Druze Progressive Socialist Party (PSP), backed by the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and Syria. <P0-S2>  Hostilities began when the LF and the LAF entered the predominantly Druze Chouf district to bring back the region under government control, only to be met with fierce resistance from local Druze militias and their allies. <P0-S3>  The PSP leader Walid Jumblatt's persistence to join the central government and his instigation of a wider opposition faction led to disintegration of the already fragile LAF and the eventual collapse of the Maronite-led government under President Amin Gemayel. <SEP> <P1-S0> Ibrahim Tannous (1929 - December 26, 2012) was a former commander of the Lebanese Armed Forces. <P1-S1>  General Tannous earned a reputation for honesty and was seen as “a general willing to get his uniform dirty to build a fighting Lebanese Army,” in the words of one Arab authority. <P1-S2>  Gen. Tannous took over command of the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) in December 1982, during the early years of the civil war and oversaw joint operations with the Multinational Force that was in charge of training LAF forces and restoring order to Beirut. <P1-S3>  Gen. Tannous, who is close to President Gemayel, resigned his post as armed forces commander in June 1984 as a concession to government's opposition factions who were calling for restructuring the army and was succeeded by Michel Aoun. <P1-S4>  Until Gen. Tannous' resignation, the army was one of the most important institution supporting the U.S.-backed Gemayel Government, however, Tannous' departure marked a major shift in the American-trained armed forces towards a policy closely in tune with Syria's foreign policy and security objectives. <SEP> <P2-S0>  It is bordered by Syria to the north and east and Israel to the south, while Cyprus is west across the Mediterranean Sea. <P2-S1>  Lebanon's location at the crossroads of the Mediterranean Basin and the Arabian hinterland facilitated its rich history and shaped a cultural identity of religious and ethnic diversity. <P2-S2> Lebanon ( ; Arabic: لبنان‎ ‎ "Lubnān" ; ] ; French: "Liban" ), officially known as the Lebanese Republic (Arabic: الجمهورية اللبنانية‎ ‎ "al-Jumhūrīyah al-Lubnānīyah" ; ] ; French: "République libanaise" ), is a sovereign state in Western Asia. <P2-S3>  At just 10,452 km (4,036 sq. mi.) <P2-S4> , it is the smallest recognized country on the entire mainland Asian continent. <SEP> <P3-S0> Jean Kahwaji (] ) is a former Lebanese military officer and Commander of the Lebanese Armed Forces from 2008 to 2017.
