editApril 18, 1983, the American Embassy in Beirut was bombed by a terrorist organization with ties to both Palestine and Iran. 63 people, including 17 Americans lost their lives in this attack. I feel that this event is significant enough to warrant at least being mentioned somewhere in the article.

May 2018 copy edit
editJust a couple notes on some of the style choices applied in my copy edit:
- I replaced the many short sections with bulleted lists, consistent through the article. There were only two entries which had multiple paragraphs and I tightened up the prose in those.
- The first version of the article had dates in the format "yyyy,mm dd". I standardized this as mdy. (When the section specified the year, it was redundant to repeat this for each entry under the section.) If anyone wants to change from mdy dates to dmy dates, please discuss first.
- List entries were sometimes overcapitalized. "Tripoli Bomb" is not a proper name and so the second word gets lower-case. I followed with the date in parenthesis as a disambiguator.
- I expressed most numbers with numerals instead of words (e.g.: 2 instead of two). Although small numbers are usually expressed with words in articles, numbers should be in the same format (numerals or words) when the reader may be comparing figures, such as the dead and wounded in attacks. I feel this is particularly important in a list where the reader may be glancing around a bit and can help them find a particular entry.

For historical records, attacks in Lebanon should not be limited to just after 2004!§
editLebanon has a 5,000 year history. There were numerous attacks which occurred in Lebanon over that long history. Thus why limit the attacks since 2004? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wbenton (talk • contribs) 05:01, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
