1972 Israeli air raid in Syria and Lebanon

From Warlike

Q4575041




On 8 September 1972, Israeli planes bombed ten Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) bases in Syria and Lebanon as a response to the Munich massacre that took place on 6 September, perpetrated by Black September, a Palestinian terrorist organization active since 1970. Estimates of the number and identity of casualties vary widely, with several sources giving a figure as high as 200 militants and 11 Lebanese civilians. Seven bases were attacked in Syria and three in Lebanon. A short dogfight between Israeli and Syrian fighters resulted in three Syrian jets being downed. The main rail link between Syria and Beirut was cut and targets in Latakia were also attacked.
