It's important to underscore the US involvement in the massive strikes on civilians in Beirut this past week.
American AWACS aircraft were seen approaching the Lebanese coast and then turning off their transponders right as the dozens of bombing runs began throughout Beirut on the 27th. Airplane spotters suggest these craft were deployed to aid with radar support for the fighter jets and possibly to conduct electronic surveillance of Hezbollah's reaction to the strikes.
