Editing Palestinian Liberation Front (section)

=== Attack on Nahariya ===
During the night of 22 April 1979, four members of the PLF went ashore from Lebanon in a rubber dinghy and forcibly entered an apartment building. They took hostages there. The 17-year-old PLF fighter [[Samir Kuntar]] is said to have killed two of his hostages on the beach when Israeli security forces approached. Two policemen died, and two of the attackers were also killed. Kuntar was imprisoned in Israel. Hezbollah repeatedly called for his release. In 2004, a prisoner exchange organised by the German Federal Intelligence Service took place. In the process, 430 Palestinians and 16 members of Hezbollah were released. Samir Kuntar was taken off the list of those released at the last moment. In December 2015, he was killed in an air strike.<ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=QbjqM0vfcXYC&pg=PA166 |title=Jews, Church & Civilization |volume=7 |first=David |last=Birnbaum|date=2 January 2015 |publisher=David Birnbaum |isbn=978-0-9843619-3-9 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |author=Werner Sonne |url=http://www.cicero.de/weltbuehne/samir-kuntar-Israel-der-bnd-und-das-ende-eines-blutruenstigen-hisbollah-terroristen/60279 |title=Samir Kuntar – Israel, der BND und das Ende eines blutrünstigen Terroristen |website=Cicero – Magazin für politische Kultur |date=2015-12-21 |access-date=2016-02-18}}</ref>
