⚔Syria deploys SAM-6 missiles in the Bekaa

On 29 April 1981, the day after Israel shot down two Syrian helicopters over Zahle, Syria deployed SAM-6 missile batteries in the Bekaa plain, and the "missile crisis" began: Israel threatened to bomb them and war nearly broke out, and Philip Habib mediated to defuse it. The missiles remained until Israel destroyed them in June 1982.
