Entebbe 7th, Reivew on 7 Days in Entebbe

On June 27, 1976, a group of Palestinian terrorists hijacked an Air France passenger plane from Israel to Paris and flew it to the Entebbe airport in Uganda, Israel’s enemy. The terrorists demanded a ransom of 5 million U.S. dollars and released more than 40 detained terrorists. After the arduous negotiations broke down, Israel launched the most unprecedented "Operation Thunder", also known as "Operation Entebbe" in the history of human counter-terrorism.

Four Israeli C-130 Hercules military transport aircraft, supported by two Boeing 707s, carrying 100 commandos, flying at low altitudes for nearly 4,000 kilometers, suddenly appeared at Entebbe Airport, except for all the hijackers and Ugandan soldiers who killed the airport. Apart from the fighter jets that blew up a quarter of the Ugandan Air Force, 102 of the 106 hostages were rescued and returned to Israel on July 4, 1976.

This day is the 200th anniversary of the independence of the United States, and it also unexpectedly witnessed the pinnacle of the history of human anti-terrorism. The only sacrifice made by the Israeli commandos was the brother of current Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. On March 16, 18, the British film "Entebbe 7th" filmed based on this incident will be released in the United States
