I remember, Shelley. I was a girl at the time and I wanted to grow up and join the Israeli army, because they let women fight.
In my opinion the Entebbe Raid ranks as the finest feat of arms in post-WWII history.
That’s a tough call to have made: the Battle of Ia Drang is right up there, as is the Yom Kippur war and quite a few others.
Entebbe had it all: audacity, cunning, desperate measures, a brilliant plan, a decisive outcome, a wholesale slaughter of villains, courage, sacrifice.
God was with Israel at Entebbe. May He always be.
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
