Joud el Bayeh (also spelled Jud Bayeh or Judd Bayeh, Arabic: جود البايع or جود البائع) was a Lebanese Kataeb party leader, responsible for the area of Zgharta,[1] in the North of Lebanon,[2][3] who was assassinated on June 7, 1978,[4] which is believed to have triggered the Ehden Massacre. Joud was the bank director of the Banque de la Méditerranée (later became BankMed) in Chekka, president of the municipal council of Kfardlakos (a village in Zgharta) and vice-president of the Zgharta region of the Kataeb.[5] An organization in his name has been created called Joud el Bayeh Foundation "مؤسسة جود البايع الخيرية".[6][7][8]
Assassination
In 1978, tensions were high in the North between the Kataeb and Marada parties, when the Kataeb tried to expand their power in the region.[9] Bayeh attempted to open a Phalanges (Kataeb) office in Zgharta, before he was killed on June 8, 1978, by six armed men sent by Tony Franjieh. Six days later, on June 13,[10] Kataeb leader Bashir Gemayel decided to strike back killing Franjieh, his family (including his wife Vera Frangieh, their three-year-old daughter Jihane), and thirty other Marada bodyguards and aides, which came to be known as the Ehden Massacre.
The raid was carried out by a commando force of 500 members.[11] Commander Elie Hobeika was responsible for firing the deadly shots, and commander Samir Geagea[12] was wounded and lost consciousness before getting into the house.
Bashir Gemayel initially tried to settle the problem by negotiations, through the Maronite Patriarch Antonios Khreich, but these negotiations did not bring results. Gemayel then decided to retaliate with a reprisal raid deep into Frangieh's mansion in Ehden. The original plan was to arrest those who had murdered Al Bayeh. It was known that they had been hiding in Frangieh's summer residence in Ehden.[13]
