  • For a Palestinian, 1984:
Wikipedia description:

Abdel Wael Zwaiter (Arabic: وائل زعيتر; also known as Wa'el Zu'aytir; 2 January 1934 – 16 October 1972) was a Palestinian writer and translator. He was assassinated as the first target of Israel's Mossad assassinations following the Munich massacre. Israel considered Zwaiter a terrorist for his role in the Black September group, while his supporters argued that he was "never conclusively linked" with Black September or the Munich massacre and was killed in retribution. Today Zwaiter is regarded with a high degree of certainty as innocent.
