Jamal Al-Gashey (Arabic: جمال الجاشي; born 1953) is a Palestinian militant1 who was a member of the Black September offshoot of the Palestine Liberation Organization and one of eight militants who carried out the massacre of eleven Israeli athletes during the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, West Germany. He is visible several times in television news footage of the event, identifiable by his blue- and white-striped jacket. During the failed rescue attempt by the Munich police, which resulted in the deaths of nine Israeli hostages and five of the Black September militants1, Al-Gashey was shot in the wrist attempting to aid a fellow Black September member.

㉓ Reviewed in the sweep
Jamal Al-Gashey is a surviving member of the Black September cell that murdered eleven Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics. As of October 6, 2023 the opening called him a "Palestinian terrorist... one of eight terrorists who carried out the massacre," and described "five of the Black September terrorists" killed in the rescue attempt. Today the opening calls him a "Palestinian militant," "one of eight militants," and "five of the Black September militants"; terrorist appears 0 times in the opening today and survives once in the body. A reader today learns he was a "militant" who took part in a massacre, and not that Wikipedia itself called him and his Black September cell terrorists as recently as October 2023.
