The Misgav Am hostage crisis, which began during the night of April 7, 1980, was a raid carried out by a squad of five Palestinian militants, belonging to the Iraqi-backed Arab Liberation Front militant organization,〔〔 on the northern Israeli kibbutz of Misgav Am in which the militants captured a group of toddlers and babies at the children's dormitory of the kibbutz and held them as hostages. The event ended the next day with the takeover of the terrorist stronghold by Israeli special forces. During the incident three Israelis were killed – a two-year-old toddler and a 38-year-old kibbutz member were murdered and one Israeli soldier died in a rescue attempt. Four other children, a kibbutz member and 11 Israeli soldiers were injured during the attack.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Edmonton Journal - Google News Archive Search )〕 ==Details of the attack== During the night of Monday, April 7, 1980, a squad of five Palestinian militants, belonging to the Iraqi-backed Arab Liberation Front militant organization,〔〔 armed with AK-47 assault rifles and hand grenades, cut the border fence between Israel and Lebanon at around 01:00 am. The squad then crossed the border and managed to sneak into Kibbutz Misgav Am, located in northern Israel. Upon reaching the center of the kibbutz undetected, the squad arrived at the children's dormitory which contained many children aged 1½ to 3 supervised by some of their parents.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Beaver County Times - Google News Archive Search )〕 At the entrance to the dormitory, the militant squad encountered the kibbutz secretary Sammy (Samuel) Shani, who happened to be at the site repairing the building's light fixtures. With only a screwdriver in his hand, he attempted to block the entrance to the dormitory, but was shot dead by the militants.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=אזרחים חללי פעולות איבה - חיפוש לפי שם, אירוע או מקום מגורים - סמי שמואל שני ז"ל )〕 The militants then entered the building and killed two-year-old Eyal Gluska,〔 and snatched two babies from their cribs (one of them was Sammy Shani's two-month-old son). The militants ran up to the second floor together with the two babies they took. They barricaded themselves on the second floor, which at that time had five other toddlers and an adult named Meir Peretz who was supervising the children. Kibbutz members managed to rescue several women and children from the building during the raid. At about 02:30 am, Israeli military forces surrounded the dormitory building and began to negotiate with the militants. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Misgav Am hostage crisis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
