They could fire in a fraction of a second. We had to fly seven hours, land safely, drive to the terminal area where the hostages were being held, get inside, and eliminate all the terrorists before any of them could fire." --Israeli Brigadier General Dan Shomron, Commander of the Entebbe Raid It was an extraordinary risk and an unqualified success. On July 3, 1976, a strike force of just over 200 Israeli commandos landed at Entebbe Airport in Uganda and successfully ended a hijack and hostage ordeal that had started a week earlier. Two of the 105 hostages died in the crossfire, all eight Palestinian and German terrorists aboard the plane were killed and the only Israeli lost was the force leader, Yoni Netanyahu. From the tense planning stages to the 58-minute operation itself, THE ENTEBBE RAID, 1976, tells the complete story of this remarkable chapter in the ongoing fight against terrorism.
