On this day, 41 years ago, April 18, 1984 (March 18, 1984 in the lunar calendar), the U.S. Embassy in Lebanon was bombed. The U.S. Embassy was bombed, killing 61 people and injuring more than 100. In June 1982, Israel launched a large-scale armed invasion of Lebanon, occupying one third of Lebanon's territory and besieged Beirut with heavy troops. More than 1000 Palestinian refugees here were brutally massacred by Israeli troops and Lebanon Christian militia on September 18. This atrocity aroused public outrage around the world. After the incident, on September 20, the governments of the United States, France and Italy reorganized the multinational force at the request of the Lebanese government and stationed them in Beirut and its suburbs on October 2. On April 18, 1983, an explosion occurred at the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon. Rescue work was carried out around the clock on the 19th, with rescuers using bulldozers and cranes frantically searching for survivors. The death toll reached more than 60 people, including more than 10 Americans. Police said the explosion was caused by a car loaded with 300 pounds of high explosives. Three organizations all said they did it, one of which is the Islamic Jihad group. The multinational force was simply unable to stop the scuffle between the various factions in Lebanon, and they had to hide to avoid being killed by unclear enemies. Even so, on October 23, 1983, more than 300 American and French soldiers died in suicide attacks. These two tragedies, which occurred simultaneously at the headquarters of the U.S. and French troops in Beirut, shocked the Western world. Among them, the explosion at a U.S. base caused the largest death toll, reaching 260. At that time, a truck carrying 5000 pounds of explosives rushed through the fence around the base and exploded among the crowd at the base. A Navy spokesman said: "I have never seen such a mass killing other than in Vietnam." In September 1984, another explosion occurred near the U.S. Embassy in Lebanon, killing and injuring hundreds of people, including the U.S. and British ambassadors to Lebanon. Frequent terrorist attacks forced the United States to evacuate this troubled place in 1984. The U.S. Embassy was destroyed
