Munich-Code Name: Bayonet tells the true story of the Israeli Mossad’s Bayonet unit, responsible for Israel’s retaliation against the Palestinian Black September terrorist organization following the 1972 massacre of 11 Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics.

Many accounts, including Steven Spielberg’s Munich, focus on the Mossad’s operations throughout the Middle East and Western Europe. Yet Munich-Code Name: Bayonet revisits the scenes of the operations with the Mossad agents responsible.

This startling film also presents personal accounts of CIA operatives and those of the surviving Black September members. Munich-Code Name: Bayonet gives an unrivalled and compelling account of Israel’s actions, told firsthand by those involved.
