I am a staunch believer in Israel and the Israeli people and I thank God for His intervention and the rescue of those people. They never deserved what happened to them and the Palestinian terrorists will never learn that terrorism is never the way.

[@mwoso]

I remember as a little boy when it happened. By then I was staying with my father at likoni in Mombasa, Kenya, close to the Indian Ocean. The Israel plane passed through Mombasa very low to the sea headed to Uganda. They refuelled in Kenya moments after rescuing their hostages on their way back home. People who witnessed it Said the plane was just flying close on land. President Kenyatta had close ties with Israel at that time. Which means he allowed them to pass through the territory. Then they flew very low on lake Victoria and emerged up to land in Entebbe. It was a swift calculated mission. Fisher men in Indian Ocean and lake Victoria wondered and mused over the low flying monster like plane that passed by very swiftly with a somehow deafening but soft sound. Later on to hear in the news that Israel commandos had raided Uganda. Wow, it's a memorable story.

When the planes returned home they were at their most vulnerable. Suddenly two fighters approached. Over the radio the planes heard "this is the Israeli Air Force. We are here to accompany you home." And for the first time the rescue team was able to relax. Over the radio their heard a popular song "Small country slips out of trouble."

Hi. I prefer this movie to the newer one. Great to watch it again. They really had no choice to do this, they were pushed into a corner which had to be addressed with a response. An amazing rescue, if they hadn't have gone for it, more would have happened. Dora was found in 1979, her body buried in a sugar plantation murdered by Amin's army. You can read about it.

Easy to be the tough guy when you have strong friends. Israel would be nothing if not for funding by the USA and other nations. Stealing land from the Palestinians in 1948, years of terror and oppression . Israel is a settler state, an apartheid state. There will be no peace until Palestinians are Allowed to return and the leaders of Israel admit to their crimes.

I was in South Africa at the time of the event. The front page of the broadsheet newspaper in Durban (Natal) had just three words in a HUGE font. "Entebbe Raid ...." forgotten the last one. The entire country, black, white and coloured spent that entire day going about their business with a huge smile on their face. Everyone knew how Idi Amin had murdered an estimated half a million of his own people. It was a truly transforming day for much of Africa, and South Africa in particular. Such a pity that, today, South Africa and most of the surrounding states to the North and East are AGAIN in a state of barely contained chaos.

I remember this hijacking, I was living in Israel as a 10 year old. We were all standing around the radio and television listening in shock. THEN we woke up one day to the news of the mission and we were so proud as if we flew the plane ourselves. and then they made two movies about it.

[@ddw76y]

I was ten years old when I saw the movie in 1978. I was amazed by the action, planning and execution of the mission. This movie help start my interest in the military (Me joining the Army) history, and world event. A great cast also and Martin Balsem played a similar role in the movie " The Delta Force"

Knowing the combat skill of the Israeli pilots the Soviets then turned around and ran away back into Egypt.

Charles Bronson was a major box office star at the time of the release on television and the director Irvin Kershner was a first-rank movie director. I always like to believe that Bronson agreed to do the movie for two reasons---One, the subject matter was straight up his taciturn, yet efficient, heroic characterization alley, and Two, Kershner always had a knack of making outsized cinematic spectacle seem nuanced and intimate (Exhibits One and Two---- the Star Wars series' best movie 'The Empire Strikes Back' and Sean Connery's James Bond return 'Never Say Never Again'), which appealed to Bronson's essential no-fuss bad-ass screen persona.
