a story that should be told for a hundred years.
the way they do it is the only way
In the ensuing years, Betser and the Netanyahu brothers – Iddo and Benjamin, all Matkal veterans – argued in increasingly public forums about who was to blame for the unexpected early firefight that Yonatan's death and partial loss of tactical surprise.
As a result of the operation, the Unite States military developed rescue teams modelled on the unit employed in the Entebbe rescue. One notable attempt was Operation Eagle Claw, a failed 1980 rescue of 53 American embassy personnel held hostage in Tehran during the Iran hostage crisis.
Fascinating history, thank you

WELL DONE , ISRAEL !!!
Amazing. Well done Israel.
0:51 – The title says "Operation Thunderbolt", while the on-screen text says "Operation Thunderball". So, which is it??
I have mostly heard/read/known about the name "Operation Thunderbolt" in connection with the Entebbe raid?
Is it known by other names (i.e. Operation Thunderball) as well?
Mess with the Bull you get the Horn. Great episode. Many thanks from western North Carolina………
What a fantastic story. Long live the Jewish nation.
All that surprise planning went out the window real quick lol
Israeli ingenuity, bravery and smarts. Those commandos were heroes!
Very inspiring video on how to use mind and bravery in the battle against terrorists.

I was 16 years old and celebrating the 200th birthday of my native USA. And when need of this feat came out my friends and l were jumping with joy! "The good guys won this one!"
Thank you to Yoni Netanyahu and team for pulling off this real life "Mission: Impossible" and ending the near constant airliner hijackings that were all too common.
😊
I was ten years old…
My father loved to talk about anything "Israel"…
He admired their nation greatly and shared his enthusiasm with his children…
It was this story that initially fired up my own interest in the Jewish nation…
He told it well…
