In Tripoli, clashes resumed between the Christian militia al-Marada from Zgharta and Sunni Muslim militias from Tripoli. Further north, in the Akkar, Muslim tribes from Funaydiq, with as-Sa`iqa commandos, attacked several Christian (Maronite and Greek Orthodox) villages, killing civilians and burning and looting homes, thereby displacing a population. In the Beqaa, Lebanese Muslim, As Sa`iqa and PLA units were shelling Zahleh, while they were attacking Christian civilians in different towns and villages.

Fighting resumed in Zahleh, Tripoli, and Zgharta, with heavy weaponry. Most Christians fled from Tripoli as well as the Christian villages in the Akkar, and they headed toward the Christian-populated region of Kesrouan, in the northern suburbs of Mount Lebanon. In parallel, tension was on the rise in the capital, paving the way for a resumption of violence. On September 13, 1975, the Dekwaneh-Tel al-Zaatar front in East Beirut flared up, and in the following days, clashes spread to front-line zones, namely Ain al-Remmaneh-Chiyah and—for the first time—downtown Beirut. Snipers, positioned at all the city’s main entry points, were shooting at children, women, and men. Some historians reported that scores of civilians were killed at crossroads, under the bridges, and especially in the areas separating Christian areas from Muslim ones.

Fighting also spread to other regions in the country, including North Lebanon, between the Sunnis of Tripoli and the Maronites of Zgharta, in Zahleh in the Beqaa, and in the Shuf. In the Beqaa, three people were killed in the clashes.41 In Tripoli, shops and offices owned by Christians were blown up by dynamite, causing Christian families to flee toward Beirut or their mountain villages. In the Shuf, Aley and Upper Metn, acts of violence committed by Druze gunmen against Christians or by Christian gunmen against other Christians affiliated to the NM drove many Christian families to leave the area. These acts included blowing up cars or houses, threats, abductions, and murder.
