The Raid On Entebbe 40 years ago today, 103 hostages were rescued in one of the most ambitious hostage rescues in history - the raid on Entebbe. After PFLP and Revolutionary Cells terrorists hijacked a plane from Israel, they separated out 103 Israeli passengers (and crew) and diverted the plane to Uganda where they demanded the releases of terrorists in exchange for the release of hostages. The IDF was able to successfully rescue all hostages with very few casualties in a remarkable feat. Today

When an airbus was hijacked on July 4th 1976, Operation Entebbe was put into place resulting in one of the most stunning hostage rescue missions of all time. In today's animated educational cartoon we shed some like on Operation Entebbe and the crazy story of the Israel Defense Forces saving a plane with 248 passengers. | The Infographics Show
