Entebbe raid

The Entebbe Raid, also known as Operation Entebbe, was a daring military rescue carried out by Israeli forces in July 1976. After terrorists hijacked an Air France plane and held 248 passengers in Uganda, Israel planned a daring extraction. They flew over enemy territory secretly, landed at Entebbe Airport in Uganda, and stormed the plane to free the hostages. The mission successfully rescued most passengers in a matter of hours, with minimal casualties, showcasing precise planning and bravery. The operation is regarded as a significant example of covert military effectiveness in hostage rescue.
