Following the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre where terrorists of 'Black September' murdered 11 Israeli athletes, the Israeli defense and intelligence apparatus became preoccupied with avenging this atrocity. Israel's revenge, when it came, was spectacular. An audacious raid marked the culmination of an 18-month covert and overt campaign against 'Black September', which achieved that organisation's destruction. But the 18-month effort had severely drained Israeli intelligence resources. Since the 1967 Six Day War, Israeli military intelligence had greatly underestimated their Arab adversaries. The Israelis had become over-confident; and they were about to pay dearly for their errors, on the holiest day in the Jewish year, 'Yom Kippur'.
