Samir Kuntar ((アラビア語:سمير القنطار), also transcribed ''Sameer'', ''Kantar'', ''Quntar'', ''Qantar'';) is a Lebanese Druze member of the Palestine Liberation Front who was convicted of murder. On April 22, 1979, at the age of 16, he participated in the attempted kidnapping of an Israeli family in Nahariya that resulted in the deaths of four Israelis and two of his fellow kidnappers. Kuntar and his team broke into an apartment building and kidnapped a father, 31-year-old Danny Haran, and his 4-year-old daughter, Einat, taking them to a nearby beach and killing them. In Israel, Kuntar is considered the perpetrator of one of the most brutal terrorist attacks in the country's history.〔("A celebration of evil" ), ''The Jerusalem Post'', July 15, 2008.
