Palestinian terrorists at the 1972 Munich Olympics killed the Israeli athletes.
It depends on the hostage crisis (1972 Munich or 1979 Entebbe or Gilad Shalit). In most cases, Palestinian Militants with guns attacked unarmed Israelis or surprised armed Israelis in well-planned attacks.
The Munich Massacre was during the Munich Summer Olympics in September 1972
Palestinian terrorists killed several Israeli athletes.
Sadly this was a protest about the situation in Palestine. That it should have happened in Munich is a tragic irony. One has to feel that the Olympics should be beyond protest, at least in this terrible, violent means. But the protesters, terrorists, know the eyes of the world are upon them.

Munich, 1972.
The did not have a country -- they were Palestinians.
At the 1972 Munich Summer Olympic Games, Palestinian terrorists killed two Israelis and took nine Israelis hostage. Palestenian terrorists broke into the barracks of the Israeli Olympic team and held them hostage. They demanded a bus take them to the airport and 2 helicopters. At the airport, the German police tried to stop the terrorists and a gun fight resulted. A terrorist tossed a grenade into one helicopter killing all the hostages. I thought they were Arab ??

The Munich massacre in 1972, where eleven Israeli athletes were killed by Palestinian terrorists during the Olympic Games, significantly heightened global awareness of terrorism and its political implications. In response, many countries intensified their counterterrorism measures and security protocols at international events. Additionally, the incident led to the establishment of more robust intelligence-sharing networks and a reevaluation of how governments addressed issues related to terrorism and national security. The massacre also deepened the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and influenced international perceptions of both sides in the ongoing struggle.
