Operation Entebbe was a daring and brilliantly executed hostage rescue mission carried out by Israeli commandos in 1976, after an Air France flight was hijacked and diverted to Uganda. In a bold show of precision and courage, Israeli forces flew over 2,500 miles, stormed the airport under cover of darkness, and rescued 102 hostages in under an hour. The operation stunned the world and became a symbol of Israel’s resolve, military ingenuity, and commitment to protecting its citizens anywhere on Earth.
