The
Bombing of the U.S. Marines
Barracks
in Beirut (October
23, 1983) President Reagan sent the U.S. Marines
to Lebanon to act as peacekeepers in the
war
between Israel and the Palestine
Liberation Organization. Over time,
the mission changed, and the United States
ended up taking sides in the ongoing
Lebanese
Civil War. For nearly two years, the
U.S. was in a de facto state of war with
Syria and its allies among the Lebanese
Muslim militias, including Amal, and
Hezbollah. On the morning of October 23, 1983, a
Hezbollah suicide bomber drove a truck
into the Marine barracks at Beirut
airport, setting off an explosion which
killed nearly 250 Marines. Beirut
