威廉·哈维

William Hawi was one of the key organizers who helped transform the Kataeb movement from a political party into a force with a disciplined paramilitary dimension, a development that mattered enormously for Lebanon's later civil war. His career helps explain how party organization, militia preparation, and nationalist politics combined before and during the conflict. His role inside the Kataeb organizational structure contributed to the party's militarized identity. The Lebanese Civil War did not begin from a blank slate: armed parties had been building cadres, institutions, and militant culture well before open collapse. Hawi's career connects prewar party formation to wartime military capability.
