The Maarakeh bombing took place on 4 March 1985, a bomb exploded in a Shiite religious center (Hussainiya) in the southern Lebanese village of Maarakeh.[1][2] 15 people were killed, including two leaders of the Amal movement that was fighting Israel, and 55 were injured.[3][4][5][6] Author Nicholas Blanford said that the bomb was "planted by the Israelis during the earlier raid" [on 2 March][7][8] while according to Robert Fisk, French intelligence in Lebanon believed that Israel planted the bomb. Israel denied involvement. In 2018, Ronen Bergman wrote in Rise and Kill First, that it was Mossad agents commanded by Meir Dagan who planted the bomb.[9]
