In October 1953, before any “occupied territories” or “open-air prisons,” a group of fedayeen fighters snuck into the village of Yehud, Israel, and threw grenades into the rooms of a mother, Suzanne Kinyas, and her 3-year-old girl and 1-year-old boy, killing them.

In 1979, another group of Arabs, sent by Abu Abbas, today the president of the Palestinian Authority, landed in Nahariya, Israel, on boats and took Danny Haran and his 4-year-old daughter Einat hostage. Danny’s wife, Smadar, escaped by hiding in a crawl space where she accidentally suffocated her crying daughter Yael, who was 2. The terrorists led the father and daughter down to the beach, where they shot Danny point blank in the back of the head and murdered Einat by using the butt of their rifles to bash her head against the rocks.
