Israel's 1985 bombing of PLO headquarters in Tunisia recalled
Original: Ever unwilling to respect the national sovereignty of other countries, Israel on # ThisDayInHistory in 1985 carried out
Posts marking this day in history recall Operation Wooden Leg, the 1985 Israeli air strike on the Palestine Liberation Organization's headquarters near Tunis. Critics note the irony that Tunisia was the very country Israel had agreed would host the evacuated PLO leadership, calling it another violation of other nations' sovereignty. The strike killed dozens of people and drew international condemnation at the time.
Why now: The anniversary of the 1985 Operation Wooden Leg air strike prompted posts criticizing Israel's record on national sovereignty.
