As it reads on Wikipedia · 1 finding marked in the text · see twenty years of this article's openings

The 1979 Nahariya attack (codenamed by its perpetrators as the Nasser Operation) was a raid by four Palestinian Liberation Front (PLF) militants in Nahariya, Israel on 22 April 1979. The group, consisting of Abdel Majeed Asslan, Mhanna Salim al-Muayed, and Ahmed al-Abras, and led by 16-year-old Samir Kuntar, used a small, 55 horsepower (41 kW) boat to travel from Tyre, Lebanon to Israel. During the attack they killed three Israelis, including a father and two of his young children. Another child was accidentally suffocated in efforts to hide her from the attackers. Kuntar and al-Abras were captured, convicted of murder by an Israeli court, and sentenced to several life sentences. Kuntar denied killing the civilians, saying they were killed by Israeli forces' fire. Both Kuntar and al-Abras were later set free in prisoner swap deals conducted between Israel and Lebanese militant organizations – al-Abras in 1985, and Kuntar in 2008. In retaliation for the attack, Israeli forces bombarded a Palestinian refugee camp, killing three civilians.

㉓ Reviewed in the sweep
The 1979 Nahariya attack was a raid by four Palestine Liberation Front militants, led by 16-year-old Samir Kuntar, that killed three Israelis including a father and two young children. As of October 2023 the opening's short description called it a 1979 terrorist attack in Israel. Today the short description reads 1979 militant attack in Israel, with terror surviving 13 times in the body. A reader skimming the description today learns this was a militant attack, not that it was described as a terrorist attack.
