Munich Massacre

The Munich Massacre occurred during the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, Germany, when a Palestinian terrorist group called Black September took 11 members of the Israeli Olympic team hostage. The terrorists demanded the release of Palestinian prisoners. After a failed rescue attempt at the airport, all hostages were killed, along with five terrorists and a German police officer. The incident shocked the world, highlighting the issues of terrorism and security at international events. It remains a significant and tragic moment in Olympic and global history.
