Kuzo Okamuto's death marks a chapter in a story of Lod attack, imprisonment, and exile
Kuzo Okamoto passed away in Beirut at the age of 78. He was a well-known Japanese figure, famously called "The Japanese Ahmed." His long career was marked by his association with the 1972 Lod Airport attack, which resulted in the death of 26 people. He was one of the participants in carrying out the attack in collaboration with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. Okamoto spent more than a decade in Israeli prisons before seeking asylum in Lebanon. He later migrated between several countries before settling in Beirut, where he lived with a stance supportive of the Palestinian cause. His legacy remains linked to his involvement in the Lod Airport operation and his solidarity with the resistance, despite his controversial connections. Some view him as a symbol of international struggle, while the incident itself also serves as a reminder of civilian casualties.
