Kumamoto's Role in Beirut Airport Attack
The Japanese activist Kuzo Okamoto, known as "The Japanese Ahmed," has passed away at the age of 78 after a long career of defending the Palestinian cause. Palestinian factions, including the Popular Front and Hamas, praised his journey, which was distinguished by principles and sincere work, especially his role in carrying out the 1972 Lod Airport operation, one of the most significant attacks against Israel, which resulted in 26 deaths and over 71 injuries. Okamoto was a prominent figure, known for his sharp intelligence and extensive knowledge of multiple languages. He participated in creative resistance operations, spent 13 years in Israeli prisons, and was released as part of a prisoner exchange deal arranged by the Israelis. He then lived for years as a political refugee in Lebanon, where he obtained asylum after the Lebanese authorities detained him once again. He left behind a legacy of resistance and struggle spanning decades and remains a symbol of Palestinian resistance and the fight for freedom.
