"Raid On Entebbe" (1977) Israeli Commandos Action

Benjamin Netanyahu's brother is killed in this ops. The true story of an Israeli military operation to free hostages at Entebbe Airport in Uganda, on July 4, 1976. The portrayal of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin was Peter Finch's final performance; he died five days after the film's release.

An Air France flight is hijacked by the P.F.L.P. The plane has about one hundred Jewish passengers. The plane is grounded in Uganda. Israelis would not negotiate. This movie then shows how less than five hundred soldiers actually flew so far and rescued the passengers in one of the most successful military operations in history.

The only casualty for Israeli soldiers was Lieutenant Colonel Yonatan "Yonni" Netanyahu.
