Like the Phalangists and the Tigers, who both cooperated openly with Israel, the Guardians of the Cedars' went further and incorporated collaboration with Israel into their ideology.
It was in Sidon, during the Israeli occupation, that The Guardians of the Cedars were widely accused of acting as a death squad and were believed to be responsible for the murders and disapppearances of hundreds of Palestinian civilians.
From the end of the civil war in 1990 until the Israeli withdawal from Lebanon in 2000 the Guardians of the Cedars formed an element of the South Lebanon Army.
