Who was ruling Lebanon during Syrian occupation?
After gradual martial and political interference in Lebanon, Syria completely captured Lebanon by aerial and ground attacks in October 1990. Syrian troops occupied the Capital city of Beirut, the Lebanese presidential palace and the ministry of defense. It exiled the Lebanese primer and appointed a proxy regime in Lebanon. Since then, the Syrian regime handpicks the rulers of Lebanon and imposes a police regime in Lebanon matching the totalitarian rule in Syria, until the country was liberated in April 2005.
