Operation Thunderbolt: The Raid on Entebbe | Free Documentary History

June 1976. Air France flight 139 bound from Tel Aviv to Paris is hijacked by a group of Palestinian and German terrorists and flown to Entebbe, Uganda. On board are 226 passengers and crew - more than half of them Israeli citizens. What unfolds over the next seventy-two hours is the largest, most complex, and amazing hostage rescue operation in history.

Then why can't you go and rescue the hostages at your backyard this time arround ???

I was 10 yo when this happened.

Israel did not invade their people were attacked by Hamas and Hamas started the fight 1st so israel is fighting back what would anyone do if it happened in their family?

Vs. Idi Amin Uganda (sorry Yuganda)
You know an author who translated this very daring story '90 minutes in entebbe', he was so excited and so eager to deliver this message to Ethiopians so that he was wiping his head with wet towel day and night to bring it to an Ethiopian readers as quickly as possible and before any other nations. See his interview in Alebe Show.

OMG that background tune... terrible.

🇵🇸✌🏼

Isrhell is an illegitimate occupying apartheid state that has absolutely no right to exist in the first place. Free Palestine. Why this Jewish state was not built in the US of America ? As of the 1930s, the Jewish population in the United States was estimated to be around 4.2 million. Meanwhile the Jewish population in British Mandate Palestine experienced significant growth due to Jewish immigration from Europe. According to historical estimates, by the late 1930s, there were approximately 400,000 to 450,000 Jews living in British Mandate Palestine. This demographic shift played a significant role in the development of the region's demographics and ultimately had an impact on the political dynamics that led to the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. When majority of the Jews were in USA why not give them a state there its simple 4,200,000 in USA vs 400,000 in Palestine. In simple words "Why was the State of Israel not established in the United States, where the Jewish population was much larger than in British Mandate Palestine during the 1930s?" Why come and live in a place where supposedly everyone is their enemy?

God helped

Am quite impressed the way,helped those commandos to save Israel hostages.

Where was Ugandan Air force

👆

May the God of Israel continue to bless and protect Israel.

I talked about this raid in passing in one of my recent videos about Idi Amin. Great job.
Rest on Yoni...
I can only imagine when Nigeria, my country, can care about her citizens this way. Even those held hostage within Nigeria by ragtag terrorists are left to their fate.

Americans did it.

( no more war and hijacked please)

Life is precious, let's respect one another. No more and hijacked please.
Honestly pray_______ no one may fire me.

May יהרה bless the ISRAELITES, they are surrounded by enemies around the planet earth. Shslom

From a west African point of view, the Ugandan army is a joke.

Amazing story

I heard about this amazing rescue operation from my brother who used to work with his Ugandan friend they worked on a Pacific Forum Line ship some 40 years ago, but now I see and hear it from the mouths of those IDF heroes who actually planned the successful operation. My brother's Ugandan friend said back then that the Ugandan people believed at that time that the Israelites' army were, and I still believe, are the most intelligent people on earth. God is with his people.

This was quite incredible.Good work one people one nation

Only the Jews
can and will.

There was a a very very high super force that was behind all this rescue operation.

Israel is justified in defending itself

Did the team use Uzis or just AK's???

Love to Israel from Ghana 🇬🇭

So heroic. That proves as well that God never leaves His chosen nation.

Israel has been fighting for their lives for thousands of years. Never underestimate their desire to survive against all odds!!

I see a bunch of Europe doing a military operation in Africa. I know which one of Noah‘s son y’all come from and it ain’t shim
