How Leila Made History

Today marks the anniversary of Leila Khaled’s audacious, bloodless hijacking—a mission carried out in the name of the Palestinian liberation struggle. Khaled was not only the first woman to lead such an operation, but she also executed it with meticulous precision.

Palestinian liberation groups recognized the potential to thrust their cause into the global spotlight by exploiting the vulnerabilities of air travel—a tactic that, in a post-9/11 world, is nearly unimaginable. These hijackings left the international media with no choice but to cover the realities of Israeli colonialism and the hijacker’s motivations, the fight for a free Palestine.
