“Aqil was wanted by the United States for his alleged role in the bombing of a U.S. Marines barracks in Beirut in 1983.”
Israel is doing the work that the American government has not had the will to do.
“Israel Defense Forces confirm ‘targeted strike’ on Beirut,” by Timothy H.J. Nerozzi, Fox News, September 20, 2024:
The Israel Defense Forces confirmed a targeted missile strike was made Friday on Beirut, the capital city of Lebanon.
Security officials claim the airstrike was targeting Ibrahim Aqil, a member of terrorist group Hezbollah’s Jihad Council.
“Today, Israel eliminated [Aqil] with a surgical airstrike in Beirut,” the Israeli government posted on social media. “Justice is served.”
Aqil was wanted by the United States for his alleged role in the bombing of a U.S. Marines barracks in Beirut in 1983. He is also believed to be linked to the taking of American hostages in Lebanon during the 1980s.
Israeli officials released an announcement hours later stating that the “IAF aircraft conducted a targeted, intelligence-based strike in the area of Beirut, and eliminated Ibrahim Aqil, the Head of Hezbollah’s Operations Unit and the Commander of Hezbollah’s elite Radwan Forces, who was also in charge of Hezbollah’s ‘Conquer the Galilee’ attack plan.”
Hezbollah officials have confirmed the missile struck a Dahiya district building that Aqil is believed to have been in….

How unfortunate it is to have to wait 41 years to see justice achieved and even then it wasn’t the US that brought Justice to the Marines and the families of the killed but Israel. . The 241 US Marines were killed by a suicide truck when the advice of some urged precautions to be taken against suicide vehicles but they were ignored. After this tragedy there were calls for a US military response on the Iranian / Hezbollah who were responsible and camped out in the Bekka Valley in Lebanon. But Caspar Weinberger, Ronald Reagan’s Secretary of Defense convinced Reagan not to make such a response. His argument was “It would serve no purpose” to attack the perpetrators of the bombing where more Marines died than since WW II in a single attack. A military action that did not achieve a defined military objective was argued by Weinberger as a waste of time. Weinberger, a WW II veteran had no idea of what the war with terrorism was all about. The decision not to retaliate had repercussions in the coming years as the terrorists saw it as a sign of weakness by the US and encouraged further attacks. leveling Iranian and Hezbollah forces would have been the right response and possibly future lives would have been saved.

Good comments. There were also some fifty French soldiers who died, and also some Lebanese people who died in that suicide bombing attack as well, from what I understand.
The U.S., France and other countries need to work closely witn Israel to foil such plots by Hezbollah, Hamas, I.S., al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, al-Shebab, Jemaah Islamiah, and the other nefarious, Islamofascist terror groups.

Let’s see Biden and Kamala denounce this Israeli attack that finally avenged the Iranian/Hezbollah suicide trunk bombing that killed 241 US Marines. I am sure there will be no public “Thank You Israel” announcement by any high ranking Democrat politician.
1. The truck bombing in Lebanon killed 241 US marines was done in Oct. 1983.
2. The AMIA bombing occurred on July 1994 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and targeted the Asociación Mutual Israelita Argentina (AMIA; transl. ”Argentine Israelite Mutual Association”), a Jewish Community Centre.
Executed as a suicidal attack, a bomb-laden van was driven into the AMIA building and subsequently detonated, killing 85 people and injuring over 300. To date, the bombing remains the deadliest terrorist attack in Argentine history. Hezbollah has been blamed by Argentinian investigators but never brought to justice.
3. The Khobar Towers bombing was a terrorist attack done in June 1996. on part of a housing complex in the city of Khobar, Saudi Arabia. 19 U.S. Air Force personnel were killed and 498 others were wounded. The bombing was linked to Hezbollah Al-Hejaz and Iran.

And what’s the betting that the american government won’t back Israel for doing the job they didn’t have the stones to do?
