The targets were members of the Palestinian terrorist group "Black September"who were operatives of the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO).

Aharon Yariv, the Israeli minister of information, was in charge of the assassination plans of 'Operation Wrath of God' targeting those associated and active members of the "Black September" terrorist group.

Mahmoud Hamshari (Arabic: محمود الهمشري; 1939–1973) was identified through communications by Israeli Intelligence as the leader of the Black September Organization in France directly related to the murderous terrorist attack in Munich.

A Mossad agent acting as an Italian journalist contacted Hamshari to make an interview. When he was meeting with the Mossad agent, a group of operatives from the Mossad’s burglary unit entered into his home and inserted a bomb under a telephone. This group was headed by Zvi Malchin. 

Hamshari was severely wounded at his home on Paris's Rue d'Alésia street on the morning of 8 December 1972 by a booby-trapped device remotely controlled through a telephone call. He died in a Paris hospital on 9 January 1973.
