Clip from the 1977 movie "Raid on Entebbe" (150 min). The operation (Operation Thunderbolt) took place at night, as Israeli transport planes carried 100 commandos over 2,500 miles (4,000 km) to Uganda for the rescue operation. The operation, which took a week of planning, lasted 90 minutes and 102 hostages were rescued. Five Israeli commandos were wounded and one, the commander, Lt Col Yonatan Netanyahu, was killed. All the hijackers, three hostages and 45 Ugandan soldiers were killed, and thirty Soviet-built MiG-17s and MiG-21s of Uganda's air force were destroyed. A fourth hostage was killed by Ugandan army officers at a nearby hospital.

@walterkovacs40698 years ago - my favorite part in the entire movie!
Behold how good & pleasant it is for brothers to dwell in unity!
If that doesn't get you pumped up & ready to arrive to chew
bubblegum & kick ass, NOTHING WILL.
Like that "Hear! Sons of Kahless" song the Klingons start chanting on the bridge on their way to a glorious battle.
Ya know?
People just don't get together enough to kick Righteous amounts of ass anymore these days.
Where is the warrior spirit?
The Spartans?
The Samurai?
William Wallace? ... 5

@AmericanIsraeliJew8 years ago Before my brothers of Israel were on this operation we were sitting off the coast of Cambodia in BLT 3/9 for the rescue of Americans during the Mayaguez Incident. I was attached to an artillery regiment but if the grunts would have failed we would have went in as grunts to free our American citizens. ... 3
