Munich Beirut Shootout Scene Steven Spielbergs Munich: code-named Operation Spring of Youth) took place on the night of April 9 and early morning of April 10, 1973 when Israel Defense Forces special forces units attacked several PLO targets in Beirut and Sidon, Lebanon. This raid was part of the larger Operation Wrath of God, which aimed at avenging the 1972 Munich Olympics Massacre, and had a shocking effect on the PLO. The Israeli Sayeret Matkal forces arrived at the Lebanese beaches in Zodiac boats launched from missile ships offshore. Mossad agents awaited the forces on the beaches with cars rented the previous day, and then drove them to their targets and later back to the beaches for extraction. During the operation, three PLO leaders, surprised at home, were killed, along with other PLO personnel (reports of actual number killed vary from a dozen to 100). Several Lebanese security people and civilian neighbors were also killed. Two of the attackers were killed by the defending forces. The operation was depicted in the 2005 Steven Spielberg film Munich
