the United States did not sanction Israel for invading Lebanon.

Explanation: The 1983 bombing targeted U.S. Marines who were part of a multinational peacekeeping force deployed after Israel’s 1982 invasion of Lebanon. Many Lebanese militias (including groups tied to Hezbollah and Iran) viewed the U.S. as supporting Israel and its allies and thus targeted American forces.
