'''1979 Nahariya attack'''
An assault on innocents Jews by the the PLFP including the Lebanese monster Samir Kuntar (also spelt Kantar, Quntar, Qantar).
The squad carried out a home invasion of the apartment of the Haran family. They took the father, Danny Haran, hostage with his 4-year-old daughter, Einat Haran. The mother, Smadar Haran, hid with her 2-year-old daughter. As the terrorists searched for them, she struggled to keep the toddler quiet and accidentally suffocated her.
Meanwhile, the monster Samir Kuntar shot Einat's father dead in front of her, and he then smashed the 4 year old's head on a rock until she was dead.<ref>[https://www.maariv.co.il/news/military/Article-518434 Reminder: The horrific attack carried out by Samir Kuntar in Nahariya 36 years ago], Maariv Online, Dec 20, 2015.<blockquote>
Reminder: The horrific attack carried out by Samir Kuntar in Nahariya 36 years ago
[Einat and Yael Haran, who were killed in the Nahariya attack in 1979 (Photo: courtesy of the website for the victims of the hostilities)]
Four terrorists arrived by sea. Officer Eliyahu Shachar was killed at the beginning of the incident. They then entered the Haran family home. Father Danny and daughter Einat were taken and murdered at the beach. Daughter Yael suffocated to death while hiding with her mother Smadar in the attic.
Terrorist Samir Kuntar was killed last night in Syria. He was imprisoned for 29 years following the murder of members of the Haran family in Nahariya in 1979, until he was released in 2008 in a body return deal for Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser.
On April 22, 1979, a squad of four terrorists belonging to the Front for the Liberation of Palestine [PFLP] led by Abu Abbas, south of Lebanon, arrived in Israel to carry out an attack. The four arrived by sea in a rubber dinghy.
After going down to the beach, the squad members tried to attack a private house, but were shot dead by the owner of the house, Amnon Sela. A police vehicle sensed the scene. In a shootout that took place, policeman Eliyahu Shachar was killed. The squad then entered an apartment building at 61 Jabotinsky Street, and broke into the apartment of the Harn (Hirschhorn) family before additional police reinforcements arrived. They took 31-year-old Danny Haran and his four-year-old daughter, Einat, hostage. The mother, Smadar, managed to hide in the attic above the bedroom, along with her two-year-old daughter and neighbor.
The father and daughter were taken to the beach, where a shootout ensued between the terrorist cell and IDF policemen and soldiers.
Two-year-old Yael was killed after she suffocated while her mother tried to silence her to prevent the terrorists from discovering them.
Two of Kuntar's squad members were killed in an exchange of gunfire on the beach. Kuntar and the fourth squad member, Ahmed Evers, were captured. Kuntar was sentenced to five life sentences and 47 years in prison. He was released in a prisoner exchange deal on July 16, 2008, as part of a deal to return the bodies of two Israeli soldiers, Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser, who had been abducted two years earlier. Ahmed Evers was released by Israel in the Jibril deal in 1986.
At the funerals of the victims of the attack, then-Prime Minister Menachem Begin noted the cruelty in the murder of innocent children in a quote from Haim Nachman Bialik's "On the Slaughter": "Revenge of the blood of a little boy, Satan has not yet created."</blockquote></ref><ref>[https://markhumphrys.com/israel.conflict.crimes.html?r=1&l=ri&fst=0The Israeli-Palestinian conflict], Mark Humphrys.<blockquote>The child killer Samir Kuntar
1979 Nahariya attack.
An assault on Jewish innocents by the anti-semitic "Palestine Liberation Front", including the Lebanese monster Samir Kuntar (also spelt Kantar, Quntar, Qantar).
The terrorists carried out a home invasion of the apartment of the Haran family. They took the father, Danny Haran, hostage with his 4-year-old daughter, Einat Haran. The mother, Smadar Haran, hid with her 2-year-old daughter. As the terrorists searched for them, she struggled to keep the toddler quiet and accidentally suffocated her. (Similar stories have come out of the Holocaust, where Jews tried to hide with crying babies from searching Nazis.)
Meanwhile, the monster Samir Kuntar shot Einat's father dead in front of her, and he then smashed the 4 year old's head on a rock until she was dead.</blockquote></ref>
