In July 1976 an Air France flight travelling from Tel‑Aviv to Paris via Athens was seized and diverted to Entebbe, Uganda. The hijackers separated the Jewish passengers, holding them hostage while demanding the release of imprisoned terrorists. After intense deliberations, Israel dispatched an elite commando unit to storm the airfield and free the captives.
