it’s called Operation Thunderbolt
it’s one of the boldest most audacious
missions ever attempted the plan has
three critical stages each man plays a
critical role stage 1 the journey they
must get a unit of commandos to Entebbe
this is the task of pilot JA Shani
sharni will lead a convoy of four
Hercules c-130 transporter planes on a
2,500 mile route to Uganda
[Music]
Entebbe Airport consists of two
terminals the hostages are being held at
the old terminal to the east 2.4
kilometers to the west is the new term
the plan is for the for Hercules to use
the cover of night to land undetected on
this runway
sharni must land first the other three
Hercules will touch down seven minutes
later with backup and supplies sharni
has been warned that the runway lights
will most likely be off in other words
he must land virtually blind this
maneuver isn’t in the handbook now can
you imagine that if the terrorists will
be alert they can start shooting they
can kill everybody in five minutes
Stage two the transfer once the lead
Hercules lands 30 commandos must get to
the doors of the terminal in total
secrecy it’s a two kilometer journey
over 100 Ugandan soldiers stand guard on
the tarmac outside the terminal and on
the control tower
mookie betts ax comes up with an
outrageous idea they plan to get from
the Hercules to the terminal by posing
as a Ugandan military escort
better recalls how a mean and his army
chiefs that driven about in large black
cars pursued by military jeeps Ugandan
soldiers live in terror of our mean and
its generals when they see such an
escort they let it pass unchallenged the
Israelis are bringing up black Mercedes
and two jeeps
to Entebbe incredibly they plan to drive
them straight past the Ugandan ‘s all
the way to the turn stage three the
assault yoni Netanyahu and a small force
will take on the Ugandan ‘s outside on
the tarmac meanwhile teams of three will
storm through the terminal doors
eliminate the terrorists and free the
hostages the next day in total secrecy
the army builds a life-size replica of
the terminal they handpick commandos for
the mission who rehearse the assault
over and over they must get every tiny
detail right because one mistake could
trigger a catastrophe defense minister
perez immediately backs the plan
but it’s so risky and unorthodox that he
must persuade many members of the
cabinet official fail Lama dear foggy us
