One woman died after jumping from a window trying to escape from the terrorists. Two other guests were injured in falls, and an Israeli soldier was wounded by gunfire. Israelis were embittered after the attack by the apparent failure of UNIFIL to prevent terrorist incursion into Israel from South Lebanon. The United States condemned the attack, stating that "There can be no justification of such acts which result in the death and injury of innocent persons. We extend our sympathy to the victims and their families."https://www.jta.org/archive/security-tightened-in-north-galilee-after-terrorist-attack-in-maalot Security Tightened in North Galilee After Terrorist Attack in Maalot 15 January 1979 Jewish Telegraphic Agency The attack was the subject of a letter by Yehuda Zvi Blum, the Permanent Representative of Israel to the United Nations, to the President of the United Nations Security Council, criticising the support of the attack by Yasser Arafat and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).https://www.un.org/unispal/document/auto-insert-176993/ Attack in Israel – Letter from Israel 14 January 1979 United Nations The attack echoed a previous attack by the DFLP in Ma'alot in 1974, in which 31 people were killed in a mass-hostage situation.
