Attached: Is a nice map illustrating the 2d Battalion, 2d Marines July 16th advance up the west side of the city, through the "Basta Rebel Area", and into the Port of Beirut.

MAP SOURCE:

"Not War But Like War: The American Intervention in Lebanon" by RJ Spiller - ‎1981 usacac.army.mil/cac2/cgsc/carl/download/csipubs/spiller2.pdf

Another great source of images depicting the conflict can be found here - "1958 Lebanon Crisis: Operation Blue Bat" - Military In the Middle East (blog) -https://milinme.wordpress.com/2014/0...tion-blue-bat/
