On June 27, 1976 Air France Flight 139 was hijacked and diverted to Entebbe, Uganda. Foreign passengers were freed while Israeli passengers were held hostage; to be killed if 40 Palestinian militants prisoners were not released in Israel.

In response, Israeli intelligence and Special Forces launched a daring covert rescue raid in the dark of night. 100 commandos flew 2500 miles over enemy airspace miraculously rescuing 102 hostages and killing all the hijackers - all in 90 minutes. 4 individuals (1 Israeli soldier and 3 hostages) were tragically killed in the mission.

Operation Entebbe's dramatic story has since been made into a number of major motion pictures.
