The Lebanese Civil War which broke out in the year 1975 is one of the most devastating incidents, in which more than 60,000 people died in the first two years of the war (1975-1976), and much of the city was destroyed. Lebanon war with Israel in 2006 was another major war which shook the whole city and country.

It is known as ''the most violent zone in the world outside of declared war zones''.
