Hostage Rescue in Entebbe

A look back at the daring 1976 raid by Israeli commandos to rescue 105 Jews and Israelis who were being held hostage at the Entebbe airport in Uganda. The Israelis were traveling aboard an Air France flight from Athens when militants hijacked the plane. As it turned out, the Ugandan dictator Idi Amin was aiding the Palestinians. How the force of less than 500 Israelis penetrated Uganda, perpetrated the raid, and lost only one man in the encounter.
