On 15 May 1974, three members of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, which the United States had designated a terrorist organization, disguised themselves as Israeli soldiers, snuck across the border from Lebanon, and killed 25 hostages, including 22 children, and injured 68 hostages in Ma'a lot, Israel after taking them as hostages. The attack coincided with the 26th anniversary of the creation of the State of Israel.
When the terrorists reached Ma'alot, located on a plateau in the hills of the Western Galilee region of Israel, they knocked on the door of the Cohen family, and upon entering immediately killed the parents, Yosef and Fortuna, and their 4-year-old son Eliahu, and wounded their 5-year-old daughter Miriam. The family's 16-month-old son was uninjured.
