Operation Bayonet[1] (Hebrew: מבצע זעם האל, romanized: Mivtza Za'am Ha'el, lit. 'Operation Wrath of God') was a covert operation directed by Mossad to assassinate individuals they accused of being involved in the 1972 Munich massacre. The targets were members of the Palestinian armed militant group Black September and operatives of the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO). Authorised by Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir in the autumn of 1972, the operation is believed to have continued for over twenty years.[2] While Mossad killed several prominent Palestinians during the operation, they never managed to kill the mastermind behind Munich, namely Abu Daoud.
The operation was depicted in the television film Sword of Gideon (1986) and Steven Spielberg's film Munich (2005).
