Though a relatively small percentage of the gargantuan federal budget, foreign aid comes at a heavy cost to the average U.S. taxpayer.

A gunman who appeared to support the Islamic state opened fire at the U.S. Embassy in Lebanon on Wednesday.

"America is the Great Satan and our enemy, but we have hope in these areas," Foad Izadi, a professor at Tehran University, reportedly said.

The strike appeared to be part of a shift in Israeli strategy toward targeted killings of figures from Hezbollah and allied groups.

With Israel hinting it might go to war with the terror group Hezbollah, the Biden administration is scrambling to contain the conflict.

The clashes came as skirmishes between Lebanon's Hezbollah group and Israeli military continue to intensify along the Lebanon-Israel border.

Pro-Palestinian protesters attempted to storm Israeli consulates in Turkey and Jordan following the bombing of a hospital in the Gaza Strip.

The American Embassy in Lebanon has become a target for Hezbollah-backed protests as tensions grow in the Middle East.
