| - The South Lebanon Army or South Lebanese Army (SLA) (, transliterated: Jaysh Lubnān al-Janūbi; , transliterated: Tzvá Dróm Levanón, Tzadál) was a Lebanese militia during the Lebanese Civil War which split from the Army of Free Lebanon. After 1979, the militia operated in southern Lebanon under the authority of Saad Haddad's Government of Free Lebanon. It was supported by Israel during the 1982–2000 South Lebanon conflict to fight against the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) and Hezbollah.
- The South Lebanon Army (Arabic: جيش لبنان الجنوبي; Jaysh Lubnān al-Janūbi. Hebrew: צבא דרום לבנון, צד"ל; Tzvá Dróm Levanón, Tzadál) was founded in 1976 during the Lebanese Civil War. As a result of the civil war, the Lebanese army began to break up. Major Saad Haddad, commanding an army battalion in the south, broke away from the Lebanese Army and founded a group known as the Free Lebanon Army. While the group was no longer under the direct control of the Lebanese army, from 1976 to 1979, its members were still paid as Lebanese soldiers by the government.

| - The South Lebanon Army (Arabic: جيش لبنان الجنوبي; Jaysh Lubnān al-Janūbi. Hebrew: צבא דרום לבנון, צד"ל; Tzvá Dróm Levanón, Tzadál) was founded in 1976 during the Lebanese Civil War. As a result of the civil war, the Lebanese army began to break up. Major Saad Haddad, commanding an army battalion in the south, broke away from the Lebanese Army and founded a group known as the Free Lebanon Army. While the group was no longer under the direct control of the Lebanese army, from 1976 to 1979, its members were still paid as Lebanese soldiers by the government. In 1980 the Free Lebanon Army changed its name to the South Lebanon Army. The SLA was composed of Christians, Shiites and Druzes from the areas that it controlled but the officers were mostly Christian. Haddad died of cancer in 1984 and he was replaced as leader by Antoine Lahad (a retired lieutenant general). Funding, equipment and logistics support for the SLA came increasingly from Israel. The SLA also applied a mandatory military service program where males over 18 living its area of control were obliged to serve for 1-year as a conscript in the SLA. At its peak, the SLA comprised over 5,000 soldiers.
