Against all odds, the remarkable true story of the Israeli rescue at Entebbe in 1976 stands as a testament to courage, strategy, and determination in the face of unimaginable adversity.
In a gripping operation that captured the world’s attention, Israeli commandos defied overwhelming odds to save the lives of 102 hostages held captive by terrorists at Uganda’s Entebbe Airport.
This daring mission unfolded on the night of July 4th, as four Lockheed C-130 Hercules transport planes carrying over 200 Israeli soldiers landed undetected in the dark.
With meticulous precision and split-second timing, the commandos stormed the airport terminal, swiftly neutralizing the gunmen and liberating the hostages.
The Entebbe rescue mission became an iconic moment in the history of counterterrorism and a testament to Israel’s unwavering commitment to protecting its citizens.
It showcased the bravery and ingenuity of the Israeli Defense Forces, who executed an audacious plan against all odds.

When 248 Air France passengers were re-routed to Entebbe, Uganda and held hostage by Palestinian terrorists, Israel’s most specialized unit of the IDF performed one of the greatest rescue missions of all time. Israel – going the distance to save lives. Truly Remarkable but was it a miracle.
