Munich - Operation Bayonet
Current Affairs English, Hebrew, Arabic

According to this documentary, within days of the massacre at the Munich Olympics, Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir secretly ordered the Mossad to hunt down and assassinate all those who were responsible for the planning and execution of the carnage. In the next seven years, more than 25 terrorists and terror masterminds were killed. This campaign, conducted by a specially trained hit-team, code named 'kidon' (bayonet in Hebrew) has been the subject of innumerable accounts by writers, journalists and film-makers and is the basis of Steven Spielberg's feature film, Munich. Renowned Israeli journalists David Halevy and Ron Maiberg reveal the secret operation of the Mossad hit squad, and the missions to bring down the terrorists in major European cities and throughout the world.
