Palestine Liberation Front
Throughout the 1980s, the Palestine Liberation Front (PLF) and other members of PLO launched attacks on both civilian and military targets in the north of Israel, across the Lebanese border. One such attack by the PLO's Force 17 on September 25, 1985, on an Israeli yacht in Larnaca, Cyprus, where three Israelis were killed, triggered the Israeli Air Force to bomb the PLO headquarters in Tunis in (Operation Wooden Leg) on October 1, 1985. The headquarters was completely destroyed in this attack, and 60 PLO members were killed.
