Samir Kuntar, a Lebanese, was sentenced four life sentences for the deaths of Danny Haran, his two daughters and a policeman in Nahariya.
The group murdered police officer Eliahu Shahar after he stumbled upon the gang. The men then entered an apt. building at Rehov Jabotinski 61 and broke into the Haran family's apartment, taking them hostage.
Kuntar's gang took Danny and four-year-old Einat Haran hostage as police reinforcements arrived on the scene. Haran's wife, Smadar, hid with her two-year-old daughter Yael in a crawl space above the couple's bedroom. Smadar tried to muffle the girl's cries, and accidentally smothered her.
As officers arrived at the building, the terrorists pulled Danny and Einat out of the apartment building and down to the beach, where a shootout with police and soldiers ensued.
Kuntar shot Danny Haran at close-range and threw his body into the sea to make sure he died. HE THEN BASHED EINAT'S HEAD ON ROCKS AND WITH BUTT OF HIS RIFLE, KILLING HER INSTANTLY.
