Operation El Dorado Canyon was the codename for the United States military's bombing raid on Libya on April 15, 1986. It was conducted in response to the Libyan government's alleged involvement in terrorism, including the bombing of a Berlin nightclub frequented by American servicemen, which resulted in the death of two U.S. soldiers and a Turkish woman, as well as the injury of more than 200 others.
The operation involved air strikes carried out by U.S. Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps aircraft, as well as U.S. Navy ships stationed in the Mediterranean Sea. The primary targets of the airstrikes were military and government installations in the Libyan cities of Tripoli and Benghazi, including barracks, airfields, and command centers.
The raid was a significant escalation of tensions between the United States and Libya, which had been ongoing for years due to Libya's support for international terrorism and its pursuit of weapons of mass destruction. Operation El Dorado Canyon marked the first time that the United States had conducted a major military operation against a state sponsor of terrorism.
While the operation achieved its military objectives, including the destruction of key Libyan military assets, it also resulted in civilian casualties and drew condemnation from several countries and international organizations. However, it sent a clear message to Libya and other state sponsors of terrorism that the United States was willing to take decisive action to defend its interests and combat terrorism.
