The Marine unit that was targeted in the Beirut bombing on October 23, 1983, was the 1st Battalion, 8th Marines, part of the Multinational Force in Lebanon. A truck bomb exploded at the U.S. Marine barracks in the city, killing 241 American servicemen, making it one of the deadliest attacks against U.S. forces since World War II. This tragic event significantly impacted U.S. foreign policy in the region and highlighted the dangers faced by American military personnel in peacekeeping missions.
