Murders
On April 22, 1979, Kuntar landed on a northern Israeli beach with three other anti-Israeli militants. The four reportedly stormed the home of the Haran family. Eyewitnesses alleged Kuntar shot 28-year-old Danny Haran in front of his 4-year-old daughter Einat, then smashed the girl's skull with his rifle. The mother, Smadar Haran, accidentally smothered 2-year-old Yael in an effort to keep quiet. Kuntar was tried and convicted of murdering all three victims.The Washington Post: The World Should Know What He Did to My Family (May 18, 2003)-
