June 27, 1976, at 4:30 pm, Jerusalem CityThis is the center of the earth.
He ordered the airport to vacate an old terminal to house hijackers and passengers; he also sent Ugandan soldiers and police to help guard.
The hijacker quickly issued a statement:
To release 53 detained freedom fighters within four days, otherwise we will kill all hostages.
The 53 soldiers were detained in high-security prisons in various countries for making world-famous terrorist attacks.
The intention to assassinate the attempted Israeli Prime Minister Werner Hope;
The shooting of guns and bombings in Tel Aviv, the Japanese who killed 24 people, Okamoto, III;
Prepare hundreds of kilograms of explosives and want to make Carlos, the German who tried to make a series of explosions in Europe…
The 53 individuals are held in Israel, France, West Germany, Switzerland, Kenya and other countries. It is simply impossible to rely on Israel to coordinate the simultaneous release of so many countries.
Taking military action to rescue? It is a fantasy.
The distance from Israel to Entebbe Airport is 4,200 km.
From Tel Aviv to Entebbe, it takes about 8 hours to fly 4,200 kilometers
Equivalent to the distance from Harbin, China to Sanya.
This voyage needs to cross the hinterland of Africa, and Egypt and other countries along the way are almost all enemies of Israel.
Because it is too far away, Israel’s world-famous air force does not come in handy. Only a few military transport aircraft can fly to Uganda, and they are only enough to fly one way.
Forcibly attacking a country 4,200 kilometers away, the country is ten times the size of the country – even if Israel has this strength, it is impossible to prepare in a few days.
It can be said that the hijackers chose to take hostages to Uganda and fully considered these factors.

The door of the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office is crowded with hostages of crying, jealousy and pleading.
They demanded that the government immediately promise the hijackers so that their relatives can return home safely.
However, even if there is no decision to take military action for the time being, Israel is not idle.
The old terminal building of Entebbe Airport, hostage-taking, was built by an Israeli construction company in 1970.
The military found the company, got the design, and built a identical building with wood and cardboard overnight, and began to drill the raid.
The troop in the exercise was the main character of the Belgian flight in 1972 – the General Staff Reconnaissance Battalion.
This elite force has gone out of countless generals, ministers and entrepreneurs. There are two prime ministers.
It is the first choice that every Israeli young man will report when he joins the army.
The battalion commander of the reconnaissance camp is 30-year-old Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Netanyahu.
Anonymous “Jony.”

The handsome handsome Joni is famous, and his father is a respected university professor and editor-in-chief of the Hebrew Encyclopedia.
The three sons of Netanyahu’s family, all served in the General Staff Reconnaissance Camp. This is a rare glory in Israel.
In particular, the old José, who participated in two major wars, the Six-Day War and the Yom Kippur War, grew from the bullets to the commander of the Israeli Special Forces. He was awarded the rank of lieutenant colonel at a young age.
He is also a literary youth, especially fond of poetry.
In high school, he copied Shakespeare’s famous sentence in his notebook.
When he was in college, he helped his younger brother review literature classes and study the poems of a Palestinian poet. As a result, I was touched and unconsciously shouted:
…Look, I am the first to come back to you,
Now, I got rid of the pain of death,
Now, I broke the shackles of the soul,
My passionate heart has already belonged to this hot spot,
I fell for life because of its courage and beauty.
After serving in military service, he went to the United States and went to Harvard University to study philosophy and mathematics. However, only one year later, due to the situation around Israel, he dropped out of school and returned to China to become a professional soldier.
Defence Minister Peres commented on him:
We can discuss Edgar Allan Poe’s poems as we discuss anti-tank missiles. He is young enough to be my son and smart enough to be my peers.
People are optimistic about his future. The position of the future chief of staff of the Israeli army and even the prime minister is beckoning to him.
At the same time as the reconnaissance camp exercise, an unexpected good news came.
They have a few more days to prepare.
President Amin publicly appealed to all parties to calmly deal with it. He also announced that he had reached a consensus with the hijackers to release all non-Jewish passengers and extend the deadline by another three days.
Amin’s idea is to actively mediate in this matter, seek to gain influence, and win the Nobel Peace Prize.
Why should I extend the three days because he is going abroad to participate in the event and will be back in a few days.
If the Israeli government succumbs, he can appear on the scene of the hostage handover, as a successful mediator, enjoy the spotlight of the world.
A few days,Li Qigong.
They will be responsible for clearing the field, controlling towers and other buildings, and blocking the Ugandan army that may come to reinforce.
The heads of the commando team, all from the general staff reconnaissance battalion led by Jonny.
They will land on the first plane first, rushing into the terminal to resolve the terrorists and defenders, rescue the hostages, and finally leave.

On the flight from the training camp to the capital, Jonny wrote a letter to his girlfriend:
…I remember a drama I saw a long time ago, with a sad, hysterical cry – “Let the world stop, I want to leave, leave!”
…but you can’t let the crazy world in which we live stop spinning, and the law of gravity can’t let us get rid of it and get freedom.
So, regardless of love and hate, both life and death (Of course, whenever possible, I will choose Health), you and I can’t be alone.
After learning about his mission, many soldiers kissed the company secretary who came to the company. They are worried that this mission may have gone.
They don’t know how difficult it is to make this rescue decision.
The night before, Prime Minister Rabin had already written his resignation letter.
If the rescue operation fails, causing heavy casualties for the hostages and troops, as the top leader, he will be the first to stand up and take responsibility.
When he stepped out of the house, he said to his wife:
Tomorrow morning, either the Israeli stock market skyrocketed or I was hanged in the square.
At first, several solutions were decided back and forth in the hands of senior government officials, and the majority of opinions were discussed.
And the attitude of Secretary of Defense Simon Perez is unique.
He said:
Communicating hostages with terrorists may be successful, but winning won’t be respected; actions are not necessarily successful, but they must win respect.
The Perez family is a Jewish immigrant from Poland. He was brought up by his grandfather, a devout Jewish old man.
When you say goodbye, you are reluctant to leave your hometown grandfather to slap him with a friendly and majestic voice:
Promise me, you will always be a Jew.
A few years later, Germany invaded Poland and launched a massacre of Jews. His grandfather was killed.
Peres described it in his memoirs of his later years:
On that day, Nazi soldiers crossed the forest, came to the square of the village, gathered their grandfather and other Jews together, and rushed into our plain wood synagogue, which sealed the door with wooden boards.
After the flames of the flames rang, the smoke poured in from the cracks of the door, and the fire burned more and more. My grandfather put on his prayer shawl and sang the last prayer – keeping the last moment Perseverance and dignity until the fire took his words, breathed, and took the life of him and everyone else.
This kind of stress and feelings are in the hearts of everyone.
The cabinet voted and everyone agreed to military action.
Because they are both Jewish, they all have similar origins and family backgrounds.

23:01 in the evening.
The first Hercules aircraft arrived in Uganda. Under the cover of the night, it fell steadily on the runway of Entebbe Airport.
The Israeli intelligence agency Mossad provided accurate information: A British plane took off in Entebbe that night. The runway lights will not turn off during a period of takeoff.

He hasn’t had time to see the hostages he wants to save, and he doesn’t know if his comrades have saved them.
The followers who followed did not stop to look after their commanders. Because everyone knows that they have more important tasks.
This is the battlefield discipline that Jonny has repeatedly emphasized before the war: any wounded person must be treated after the end of the blitz operation and the safety of the hostages.
The Secretary of Defense, Perez, first heard of Jonny’s death and cried on the spot.
He rushed to the airport to meet the returning troops and asked a comrade of Jonny. How did he sacrifice?
The soldier replied briefly:
He first rushed out and the first fell.
In order to commemorate Jouni, the Israeli government renamed the “Thunder Action” under his name and renamed it “Jonathan Action.”
In the middle school textbooks in Israel, a full chapter is used to describe the action.
Every Israeli child knows about Jonny, Entebbe, and the best day in the history of the country.
A rescued hostage named his newly born son, Jouni. In fact, there were thousands of newborns named Yoney in Israel that year.
The Israeli military’s call to the city of Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA, informed the Jonah’s family that they were living in the United States.
The phone is answered by Jouni’s younger brother, whose full name is Benjamin Netanyahu.807814f2bd5b36e95dc44221e710332f13a18da820f1d314e1309ba0e9fd8e52caabcdd8f47ac9d7bb04979581dd83a1bf8637e523510aec430a2bdf2b7d786f037394 & ascene = 1 & uin = MTAyMjc3MzkzNA% 3D% 3D & devicetype = Windows + 10 & version = 62070152 & lang = zh_CN & pass_ticket = 1K7cjMOv1eHsoyTjwvM8l7lKlA204myQZArqkpz1kG% 2FYfWXmFmBrYg4T5vnhreHo “target =” _ blank “rel =” nofollow “style =” text-decoration: none; “> 8-junction (ID: crosseight) , author: Will
