Kozo Okamoto, a Japanese militant who took part in a deadly attack on Tel Aviv’s airport in 1972, dies in Beirut at the age of 78. Multiple outlets report that he dies in Beirut, where he has been staying for decades under the protection of a Palestinian group. The Washington Times states that the Palestinian group protecting him announces his death, while the other reports identify the same individual and provide the same account of his involvement in the 1972 Tel Aviv airport attack. Coverage across sources does not add new details about the circumstances of his death beyond the location, his age, and the role of the Palestinian group in releasing the information. The reporting consistently frames Okamoto as a Japanese militant linked to the Tel Aviv airport attack that occurred more than 50 years earlier.
