1. Operation Entebbe (1976)
Operation Entebbe stands as one of the boldest hostage rescue missions in history. In July 1976, Israeli commandos stormed Uganda’s Entebbe Airport to free over 100 hostages held by terrorists on a hijacked Air France flight. The meticulously planned raid lasted less than an hour but stunned the world, showcasing extraordinary precision and daring. Israel’s success not only saved lives but also set a new benchmark for counter-terrorism operations.
