The Kataeb RF was equally involved in atrocities committed against rival Christian militias ' and their leaders , namely the Ehden massacre in June 1978 which cost the life of Tony Franjieh , head of the Marada Brigade , and the Safra massacre of July 1980 , on which the Phalangists destroyed the NLP Tigers Militia ( though they prudently allowed the Tigers ' own Commander Dany Chamoun to escape to exile ) . In May 1979 , the Phalangists even battled both the NLP Tigers and the Guardians of the Cedars for control of the Furn esh Shebbak and Ain el-Rammaneh districts in East Beirut , and for the town of Akoura in the Jbeil District
