Summary

The raid on Beirut airport in response to the attack on an El Al airliner at Athens was met by widespread international condemnation. In February, an El Al Boeing 720B airliner was machine-gunned by PFLP members as it taxied on the runway at Kloten International Airport, Zurich. At the end of August, the PFLP hijacked a TWA airliner carrying several Israeli passengers and diverted it to Damascus. In the following months, hand grenades were thrown into El Al’s Brussels and Athens offices.
