The Entebbe raid was a masterful stroke of military prowess. No one had any idea that Israel would be able to pull off something like that, except Israel.

Yonatan Netanyahu, commander of the Sayeret Matkal and older brother of Benjamin Netanyahu, was the sole Israeli loss in the operation that rescued 102 of 106 hostages. The Sayeret Matkal also killed the 7 hijackers, 40 Ugandan soldiers and destroyed 11 of the 30 Ugandan MiG fighters on the ground.

The Entebbe operation is now called Operation Yonatan in Israel.
