The Lebanese Front (Arabic: الجبهة اللبنانية, romanized: al-Jabha al-Lubnaniyya) was a coalition of mainly right-wing Lebanese Nationalist parties formed in 1976 by majority Christian groups during the Lebanese Civil War.^[1] It was intended to act as a reaction force to the Lebanese National Movement (LNM) of Kamal Jumblatt and other left-wing allies.
