On the 6th of Tammuz, July 4th 1976, a team of Israeli commandos flew 2500 miles undetected across hostile countries, raided the Entebbe airport in Uganda and rescued 100 Jews who were being held hostage after their commercial plane was hijacked. This stunning, daring, audacious, miraculous Hollywoodesque rescue wowed the world, and galvanized the Jewish nation. It also was the central catalyst for the political career of the current Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu. This flawlessly executed, extraordinary operation was called by the New York Times: “An operation with no precedent in military history.”
