I WAS REMINDED of Israel’s military tour de force in Entebbe when I read of the recent rescue of hostages Fernando Marman, 60, and Luis Har, 70, from a Rafah apartment.
In an exclusive Fourth of July column, Prime Minister Netanyahu reflects on July 4, 1976 - the day Israeli forces, including his brother Yoni, landed in Entebbe and liberated 103 hostages.
Lt.-Col. Netanyahu fell during the Entebbe rescue operation in 1976, when the IDF freed over 248 hostages from Uganda's Entebbe airport.
PM Netanyahu's brother Yoni led Operation Entebbe and was the only one of the fighters to be killed during the mission.
