The film tells a true story. On the first day of the Lebanese War in June 1982, four young Israeli soldiers were driving a tank alone and were asked to fight alongside a team of ground soldiers. The first mission of this force is to enter Lebanese civilian villages and eliminate those terrorists who clearly appear to be from the Palestinian Liberation Organization. Commander Jamiri described the mission's operational guidelines as "quick and simple", but as the soldiers entered the village, what seemed like a simple task soon became complicated and eventually turned into a nightmare of massacre. From the moment the mission was dispatched, they lost contact with other troops and four soldiers were taken into a death trap. Lebanon depicts the chaotic and complex Middle East war, and this film inevitably involves political issues. But most importantly, the director hopes to depict through the film the awakening of four young people in their early twenties. They suddenly find themselves in the cruel reality of killing civilians, and killing becomes something they must do. None of them are heroes, and none of them wants to be one. Their survival instincts and human values are in a fierce struggle, which is a terrifying human tragedy.[Collapse]
