Beirut, Lebanon. Ali Hassan Salameh, leader of Black October, the Palestinian terrorist organization responsible for the massacre of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics, is assassinated by the Mossad. An explosive device is detonated as his car passes by. His four bodyguards are killed instantly, but he remains conscious, albeit in severe pain, with metal fragments in his skull and body. He is rushed to American University Hospital, where he dies on the operating table. This operation concludes the series of operations known as “The Wrath of God” by the Israeli state, to avenge the Munich ’72 massacre.
