 Israel finally signed an armistice with Lebanon in May 1983, but it fell short of a full peace treaty. Chaos still reigned in Lebanon, with many bombings and rampant militia fighting in and around Beirut, including Americans showing in support of the Christian militias in September of 1983. The American Marine Barracks in Beirut was bombed in October of 1983, and the American Embassy was bombed in September of 1984.
