Amal movement, also hope) is short for the Lebanese Resistance Detachments.[1] Amal became one of the most important Shiite Muslim militias during the Lebanese Civil War. Amal grew strong through its close ties with the Islamic regime of Iran, and the 300,000 Shii internal refugees from southern Lebanon after the Israeli bombings in the early 1980s. At its largest the militia had 14,000 troops. Amal is also an Arabic noun, meaning hope.Amals historical objectives are to achieve greater respect for Lebanons Shiite population and to get a larger percentage of resources allocated to the Shiite-dominated southern part of the country than that of the present.Amal fought a long campaign against Palestinian refugees in the Lebanese Civil War called the War of the Camps. After the War of the Camps, Amal fought a bloody battle against its fellow Shia group Hezbollah for Beirut. This battle ended with massive Syrian intervention.Contents1 History1.1 Origin1.2 Amal During the Lebanese War1.3 The War of the Camps1.3.1 First battle: May 19851.3.2 Second battle: May 19861.3.3 Third battle September 19861.4 Amal after the war2 Literature[edit]History[edit]Origin1974: The Movement of the Disinherited is formed by the Shii leader Imam Musa al-Sadr and member of parliament Hussein el-Husseini.20 January 1975: The Lebanese Resistance Detachments are formed as a military wing of The Movement of the Disinherited, and came to be popularly known as Amal (from the acronym Afwaj al-Mouqawma Al-Lubnaniyya).[edit]Amal During the Lebanese War1980: Hussein el-Husseini resigns from Amal leadership after refusing Syrian president Hafez al-Asads request to cooperate with the PLO.1982: Nabih Berri becomes one of the leaders of Amal.
