Entebbe

Entebbe

This month 40 years ago - Israeli special forces stormed a hijacked plane in Uganda and rescued the hostages from Palestinian and German attackers. We speak with the deputy commander of Operation Entebbe, Muki Betser.


Muki Betser was one of the most daring commanders of several elite units in the IDF. Most of the operations that he took part in, are still top secret. Muki played a key role in the rescue operation at Entebbe airport 40 years ago. We hear from Muki the riveting account of the Entebbe operation, in particular the critical minutes where Sayeret Matkal stormed the terminal where 105 hostages were held, and fought and overcame the attackers.
