Mossad agent leaks Israel facilitated jihadists killing 241 US marines in 1983 Beirut bombing.

Former Mossad (Israeli intelligence, like CIA) agent Victor Ostrovsky, in his 1990 book By Way of Deception, confirms Mossad withheld the specific time and location of the bombing from Americans.

In 1983, two truck bombs killed 241 US Marines in Beirut, Lebanon. A group called Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the bombings.

The Israeli government filed lawsuits in US and Canada to silence the author. Their attempts to suppress the book resulted in greater publicity. This irony is known as the Streisand effect.
