Description:
In July 1976, an Air France flight traveling from Tel Aviv to Paris, with a stop in Athens, was hijacked and diverted to Entebbe, Uganda. The Jewish passengers were separated and taken hostage, with the hijackers demanding the release of prisoners held by Israel. After considerable deliberation, the Israeli government dispatched a special forces unit to raid the airport and free the hostages.
