How Israel rescued 100 hostages 2,500 miles away — Entebbe, 1976 — RAIDERS Part 3 of 5

History Onion · Part 3 The Rescue · 2:34

After the Munich massacre, the world learned a brutal lesson: when terrorists took hostages, no one knew how to get them back. So in 1976, when hijackers flew an Air France jet to Entebbe in Uganda — 2,500 miles from Israel — and a dictator sheltered them, Israel did the impossible. Four Hercules transports, a black Mercedes ruse, and 90 minutes on the ground: 102 hostages freed. Only one soldier died — the commander, Yoni Netanyahu. Part 3 of RAIDERS. Follow for Part 4: America's own rescue ends in fire in the Iranian desert. Some scenes are cinematic reconstructions of documented events.
