The strike comes just days after Hezbollah launched a rocket and murdered 12 children in Israel's Golan Heights Saturday while they were playing soccer in a field.

Mohsin was also behind the Beirut bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in 1983.
October 23, 1983, two truck bombs were detonated at buildings in Beirut, Lebanon, housing American and French service members.

Before 9/11/2001, Hezbollah was responsible for more murders of Americans than any other terrorist organization. During the Obama administration, when Joe Biden was vice president, they let the Iranian backed group off the hook.
