ISRAEL Kills Hezbollah Terrorist Responsible for Murdering 241 U.S. Service Members on 10-23-1983.

Friday, September 20, 2024

It's amazing and sad that terrorist leader Ibrahim Aqil was able to evade U.S. Intelligence for 41 years, even though we knew he was in Lebanon!

Israel killed a top Hezbollah figure who was wanted by the U.S. for his role in the 1983 bombings of the U.S. Embassy and a Marine Corps barracks that killed 300 people, the Israeli military confirmed Friday.

Hezbollah's operations commander, Ibrahim Aqil, was the subject of a $7 million State Department reward for information leading to his arrest.

The Israeli military said it had killed Aqil and as many as 10 other senior commanders of the movement's Radwan special forces unit. Twelve people were reported dead and 66 injured in the attack, Lebanese officials said.

Hopefully the Biden-Harris Administration will give Israel a big "Thank-you!" for killing this mass murderer of U.S. citizens.

Give Israel a big thank you??! If they do it at all it'll be kept quiet to protect the dear college, protesting, snowflake break with reality overgrown children.

It took a long time to get Obam----er-----Osama where he was hiding in plain sight as well.

Hell I remember contemporaneously what many said was a naive idea it was to put those Marines in a hornet's nest to begin with

I constantly ask in these forums why we pump trillions of dollars into "Intelligence" even though it doesn't deliver much, or "Cancer Curing" that doesn't cure cancer. (Joe Biden says he cured cancer. Maybe he needs to share that cure!)

Ronald Reagan was the Commander-In-Chief. It's interesting that he was barely criticized over that massive attack, but Jimmy Carter was ripped to shreds over some U.S. "hostages" held by Iran.

Wow it took this long to get that son of a pig, it took too long, seems US was not capable to get him.

A bit too late, the piece of crap was able to multiply.

You think it doesn't deliver much. But it in fact does. It's just that they don't talk about it. Because they don't want the other side to know that we know. Much like how certain aircraft are still classified some 30 years later.

After $5 Trillion invested in INTEL/CIA since 1990. (25 years of intense high-tech project developments)

We can't make HAMAS leader's cellphones explode in their hands. (FAIL)

We couldn't see HAMAS training to attack Israel...or floating into Israel on Oct 7, 2023. (FAIL)

If we can't stop the bad guys, why hide anything we have or know? It can't be much.

It's interesting how these people are on the "most wanted" terrorist list, but we don't hear about them until they're killed, or make the news in some way.

some of us Marines who were active during that time, asked time and time again what happened to reagans we won't take any sh@@ promise, after the 2nd attack the bombing of the barracks, the first one was the U.S. Embassy there.

"Those who directed this atrocity must be dealt justice, and they will be," "Let me ask those who say we should get out of Lebanon: If we were to leave Lebanon now, what message would that send to those who foment instability and terrorism?"

then four months later,

"We're not bugging out; we're just going to a little more defensible position,"

he is one reason why i didn't reenlist.

That's because its "Classified"🙄. That way, it's whatever they want it to be, if and when they so choose to reveal it. The rest can be redacted if necessary.

Would you broadcast that you couldn't find one dude that killed 300 people after 41 fkn years???

Delta or ground branch was never tasked?? If they want you, YOU ARE HAD.

He was probably an ongoing asset until he wasn't... and then Israel got a tip. Why Israel and not the US directly?

Because the highlight of this strike was the barracks bombing connection. It's meant to get more Americans to support Israel things. Like Israel did us a solid or something like that, lol.

Not trying to drift the thread, but I think it is because the bombing was over in a day. The Iran hostages were in captivity for 444 days. Every day in the news, "Day 56, Day 180, Day 243, Day 392, etc." There was even a joke... Q: What do you call the day before the hostages were taken? A: (in best Harry Bellefonte voice) Daaay O, Daaay O.

You Can't really "drift" this thread, because there's not much to discuss.

Bad-guy-dead. Yea! That's it, lol.

Back then, there were REAL JOURNALISTS at the top of ABC-NBC-CBS News. Today, if Jimmy Carter (or any Democrat) were President, the hostages would barely be reported on by ABC-CBS-NBC.

They would only say "hopeful" things, much like they're doing now with Biden-Harris always "just days away" from getting HAMAS hostages released.

So far, BIDEN-HARRIS have lost more Americans to terrorist strikes than any President since the 9-11 attacks. 95% of the U.S. Media simply don't report this. I bet they would have in 1979 though.

EXCELLENT POST! It's also a big problem that we elect and re-elect people to Congress who give government agencies whatever they want, without first determining if they're delivering anything worthwhile for the trillions of taxpayer dollars (OUR dollars) given to them.

Every agency head, or Private Company CEO shows up at Congress, and tells them anything on their mind, without fearing having their budge cut, or subsidies reduced.

DHS head Mayorcas told the House to go screw themselves, and they did NOTHING to him, even though he admitted there are many American deaths due to all the migrants he's letting into America.

I think US leadership keeps the worlds' bad guys in a holding pattern to be captured when a big scandle is about to breal or favorable ratings are dropping too low and they need a planned media diversion.

JK-sort of.

EXCELLENT POINT! That says MOUNTAINS about who's really in control and it ain't the ones who are asking the questions.

As you can imagine in this messed up society, there is "weeping" for Dead and Injured HEZBOLLAH TERRORISTS.

Poor Hezbollahs:

The News Media and Democrats are trying their best to distract from several damning (for Democrats) things right now. Not the least of which is ABC News colluding with Kamala Harris to give her an advantage during the Trump-Harris debate 2 weeks ago.

Congress is talking about it, and the media is ignoring it...almost ALL MEDIA, because it reflects so badly on that close knit group. FoxNews and MSNBC have more in common, than they have differences.

That's what I used to think and always wondered why the majority of Americans want term limits yet keep voting for all the geriatric fossils who have made a career out of politics.

Afetr the 2020 election I now wonder if any of them are truly elected? Maybe out vote never did count in any election.

That news MADE MY DAY!. I enlisted in the USMC in 1983 Because of the Beirut Bombing of the Marine Barracks! My Dad was a Marine and that event changed my life. The thought of so many Marines killed in a cowardly bombing was too much for me to stand by. Almost exactly 10 years later I re-entered civilian life.
