The Fathallah barracks were the early headquarters of the Hezbollah organisation, situated in the Basta neighbourhood of West Beirut. On February 25th 1987 it was attacked by Syria in retaliation for Hezbollah's support for Palestinian factions in the War of the Camps against the Syrian-backed Amal movement. Hezbollah condemned the attack as an "unjustifiable massacre" and called for the prosecution of the Syrian troops involved, but did not call for revenge attacks. Hezbollah's headquarters were later moved to secret locations in Dahieh.
