These groups included veterans of the Lebanese branch of the Arab Nationalist Movement (ANM), a radical Pan-Arab group which had splintered into national factions in the late 1960s. The COA criticized the Lebanese Communist Party led by George Hawi for reformist tendencies[3], but held unsuccessful talks on a party merger in the mid-1970s.The COA was involved in the Lebanese Civil War, on the side of the Lebanese National Movement (LNM), of which Ibrahim was Executive Secretary. However, the LNM dissolved after the Israeli invasion of Lebanon and the expulsion of the PLO from Beirut in 1982. As Syria strengthened its hold on Lebanon, the COA was forced underground, since it refused to give up its alliance with the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) of Yassir Arafat, who was opposed to the Syrian President Hafez al-Assad. The COA had strong relations to the Marxist Palestinian faction of Naif Hawatmeh, Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP), and was involved with that groups party newspaper al-Hurriya (Liberty).[4]During 1982-2000, the COA allied to the Shia Islamist Hizbullah movement in its campaign of guerrilla warfare against Israeli occupation of South Lebanon.[edit]See alsoPolitics of LebanonDemographics of LebanonLebanese Civil War #160;This Lebanon-related article is a stub.
