Anniversary of Operation Entebbe (video)
35 years ago today Operation Entebbe was carried out.
In what quickly became known as one of the most daring counter-terrorism operations in history, the Israeli army sent a strike team thousands of kiolmeters away from home, to the Entebbe Airport in Uganda to conduct a daring raid to rescue the Jewish hostages of an Air France flight that had been hijacked. The successful mission was marred by the death of team leader Lt. Col. Yonatan (a.k.a. Yoni) Netanyahu, along with the death of 3 of the hostages (and a fourth was killed in the hospital by a Ugandan officer).
