Lebanese Movement in Support of Fatah

The Lebanese Movement in Support of Fatah – LMSF (Arabic: الحركة اللبنانية لدعم فتح | Al-Harakat al-Lubnaniyyat li daem Fath) was established in 1968 by Dr. Usama Fakhuri, a second-rank Sunni politician opposed to leading Beirut Sunni za'im Saeb Salam. As its name implies, the LMSF received Fatah backing from the outset and joined the ranks of the Lebanese National Movement (LNM) in 1975.
