Syrian politician Khalaf Al-Meftah, head of the Syrian branch of the International Quds Institution called on a December 25, 2023 show on Al-Quds Al-Youm TV (Islamic Jihad-Gaza) for attacks targeting American interests in the region.
He said that the Americans are willing to supply Israel with weapons and support, but not to shed any blood for their sake.
Al-Meftah gave the example of the 1983 Beirut Barracks Bombing, after which the French and American forces left the region. He said that Israel is merely a “guard dog” for the Americans.
Sunday morning, October 23, 1983, two truck bombs struck buildings in Beirut, Lebanon, housing American and French service members of the Multinational Force in Lebanon (MNF), a military peacekeeping operation during the Lebanese Civil War. The attack killed 307 people: 241 U.S. and 58 French military personnel, six civilians, and two attackers.
