Being a Ugandan, I have enjoyed this
Well planned encounter. I love Israel.
Idi Amin has a bigger foot in the history of our beautiful country Uganda. He was a no nonsense but a charming man.
@@biryabahomark2392He was no nonsense and he could be charming..But he was a monster..
❤
Idi Amin killed his own wife, killed the Bishop who officiated his military coronation ceremony!
I remember when this happened. Our family was proud of you. I said it than and I say it now. Fantastic bravery God bless you all. We were sorry for the old lady who was taken to hospital with food poisoning and was never heard of again. 😢
Amazing first-hand account by heroes. Just amazing. I was only a child in Nairobi but I remember my father and uncles jumping up in joy when the news came in.
Happy my country 🇰🇪 Kenya played part in the rescue mission.
GOD BLESS Kenya 🇰🇪
God Bless Kenya and whoever was your Pres. that time.
The Trojan War.....they used BIG HORSE as CAMOUFLAGE GIFT.
Coz u ignorant on the issue
@tulyatungaumar7213 expound the point of ignorance here.....Kenya assisted in the reconnaissance mission before the operation. Also, after the operation, the refuelling and treating of the injured was done in Nairobi Kenya.
I was told by my father this story in early 2000, and I have enjoyed watching the story in 2024. This was amazing.
Hats Off for the incredible mission accomplished.
Forever inked in history
Wow, this is by far the best documentary from free documentary history. I was scared for the IDF soldiers on the mission and was rooting for them at the same time. One thing one of the soldiers said that got me "We're just a little country sounded by so many enemies, trying to survive." Adonai bless Israel and the IDF. R.I.P Yoni
change your user name ?
@dakalodk
---even you!.....you must change your name to "TATANAS"...aka "the monyo"
It's the same in 2024 for Israel.
Amazing story. I knew the gist of the story before watching it. These guys are absolute heroes. With love from USA; Well done!!!
Heroes all! Lived through this as it happened. Have admired the Israelis ever since. So tragic that Yoni was lost. The whole world was in awe of their bravery. Unforgettable!
RIP to the commander Yoni Netanyahu who lost his life during this battle, the brother of the current prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Amazing rescue operation...
I heard about this amazing rescue operation from my brother who used to work with his Ugandan friend they worked on a Pacific Forum Line ship some 40 years ago, but now I see and hear it from the mouths of those IDF heroes who actually planned the successful operation. My brother's Ugandan friend said back then that the Ugandan people believed at that time that the Israelites' army were, and I still believe, are the most intelligent people on earth. God is with his people.
I WAS THERE
I admire Israel
But they are not the chosen people any more after Christ.
he came to his own and they refused him so he went to the whole world.
Just admire the love every Israeli demonstrate towards their country. It gets me tearing when they give update of death on battle field . Young men a s young as 19yrs flew in from every part of the world leaving their jobs and life to defend Isreal.
Great country and people
A beautiful story i never get tired of watching..The Raid on Entebbe. May the soul of Yoni continue resting in eternal peace. Loosing his own life while saving others! I salute you Yoni.
This was a miracle. Am a Ugandan but this story is touching
miraculous not..!
All Dictators in Africa The Africans love
It’s often said that President Milton Obote is corrupt. But who isn’t corrupt ?
Mr. Obote was still the best leader Uganda had before Amin.
🕊🇮🇱🕎✡🙏✝️🕰 ALL HOLY JEHOVAH GIBBOR ISRAEL LORD GOD OF WAR HALLELUJAH AMEN
I'm Ugandan also, how do feel in 2024?
I was watching TV showing all the 4th of July celebrations when the news broke about the rescue of the hostages. It made the day extra special!
I was watching too, 48 years ago. Stolen people saved by soldiers impressed a 10 years old child.
With everything happening in the middle east right now this video is positive to watch and this story should be told.
A great "tribute "to Yoni and other soldiers like him who have lost their lives ..💔 .to " save " lives🔥
The current prime minister's brother?😮
@@imehfrank1480 Yes, he was Bibi ‘s brother.
@@imehfrank1480 yes. This story now makes me understand why he sometimes remained adamant regarding negotiations with terrorists.
Man, You are amazing people Israel, The world stands with you, We love you, will always do,
Love from India!!
❤
I still remember this. I was in school at that time. We didn;t have a TV at home at that time. I read a whole page report of this from our local Newspaper in India. That was the first time I started loving Israel. I praise God for making this and other operations a great success!
I told my wife to give birth very fast because I don't have time. She did. Humour in a such a scaringly death n death situation.
All these guys are super human beings. Unbelievable and i felt I was watching some fantasy movie.
I was 16 years old and celebrating the 200th birthday of my native USA. And when need of this feat came out my friends and l were jumping with joy! "The good guys won this one!"
Thank you to Yoni Netanyahu and team for pulling off this real life "Mission: Impossible" and ending the near constant airliner hijackings that were all too common.
We are natives to Europe
@ColGesso - The Jewish people's ancestors originated in what is now the State of Israel and not Europe, so stop spreading misinformation online.
I arrived in Israel July 8, 1976, and spent the Summer there as a Kibbutz volunteer and toured the country as a Christian pilgrim. The mood there was great and the people there, both Jew and Palestinian Arab were good to me. The ongoing Gaza war now taking place is breaking my heart.
Israel is the most wonderful country that I have seen in the Middle east!The Israeli have brains,braun and good looks.
I love how Israeli people have asserted their existence in this world that’s been so harsh to them!
That’s what they call emotional blackmail. They want you to believe that the world is harsh to them, you haven’t seen people who have suffered!
Assertion should not involve murdering nearly 4000 children in one month alone. That's genocide.
@@the_pearl_of_Africaplease may I know the people who have suffered more than the Jewish people?
@@MercyMakiajews, hindus and native aboriginals of Australia and america islamists are the perpetrators
@@MercyMakia black people?
First class use. Still thank you for your help in setting up GSG 9, which would certainly not exist in this form without Israeli help.
The role of the German members of the terrorists was so incredibly shameful that as a German you asked yourself whether no one here had learned anything from the time of the 3rd Reich. Back then, as a 14-year-old, I had the feeling that the time of the murderers would never end.
For Israel, all the solidarity that is possible, from a sympathizer of Israel from Berlin-Germany
My friend, you have no idea how good it feels to hear that from someone from your nation. Even though the vast majority went along with it, I know there were some righteous 80 years ago who tried to stop it and there are many others today who feel as you do. May the memories of those minority of righteous (Oster, Beck, Von Witzelben) live forever.
Remember please that the war against the Jews has gone on for thousands of years and will not end until the Messiah comes, but those who stand against the hate, stand with the ALMIGHTY. G-D bless you.
Unbelievable,, Amazing,,, Hats off to Israel... A big salute from India...🇮🇳🙏
Jai Hind! Love from Scotland ❤
@@albin2232Thanks, Albin. ❤
God of the universe will be my God from now until my return to Him, as a Nigerian 21gunshot salute to the bravery from the rescue team and this history will let the world know our God will never leave us nor forsake us. Thank you for eliminating seeds of terror 🙏🙏🍾🍾👍👍🥂🥂🥂🕊️ shalom.
My o my,this is daring and overwhelmingly patriotic.
For man this is impossible but for God all things like possible ❤️
Amen! ✝️
Amen ✝️
Skills, brains, and guts!
Glad to know that ourr capital city, Nairobi fuel part of the Entebbe raid or rescue of the Israeltes!
you helped the wrong poeple

Not even that glad to know the lady from the festival is happily back in israel . Kudos the veteran's and to bibi you're brother did not die in vain
@@ameed9102😢😢😢
Daring rescue of highly dedicated brave Commandos of israel ,planning such an operation was no less than climbing mt everest and returning alive.Israel is full of brave fighters facing challenges such as this,a nd challenges from Muslim hyenas waiting to overpower And destroy israel.Knowing this operation was a chilling experience.Thanks to the makers of this documentary with real heroes narrating what they did to make this daring rescue meticulously planned despite factors unknown and out of control.
India also assisted Israel in information sharing which was crucial. In return Israel trained some of our elite units. Hence the Israel India bond has been for long
@@krisindiaJai Hind! Love from Scotland ❤
Israel the Greatest Army in the World. Waited years for this Documentary. Viva Israel and their Brave soldiers and Commanders.!!!
Best comment!
a story that should be told for a hundred years.
Fantastic...never again ...viva la Israel
Francais
No. The story should be told for thousands of years. It's so inspiring. God bless Israel and protect it's troops. Amen.
Also my country Uganda has been in so many issues but I love it. For the side of Israel, it was a stage of growth or milestone that God set for you so could grow stronger 💪. From challenges we grow and learn if we take courage.
The reason we Americans fight so hard to protect our second amendment is so we never have a leader like Amin.
We have a person who wants to be an absolute ruler now but we still have our guns to prevent that from happening.
Im not an historian on Israel. But i do understand them better after watching this. Being surrounded by enemies. And what happened on 7 oct. And now dismantling Hamas i understand why they want agree to a cease fire. God bless Israel
A country of the brave, I am a Ugandan living in Australia but I stand with you Israel
One thing I like about you is that you only ask for likes and subscriptions after you gave us the good show, others will spend the whole 15 minutes telling us to like the video
I was ten years old...
My father loved to talk about anything "Israel"...
He admired their nation greatly and shared his enthusiasm with his children...
It was this story that initially fired up my own interest in the Jewish nation...
He told it well...
🇿🇦🕊🇮🇱
Yoni you taught us the true meaning of self sacrifice.
Salute from Bharath
I talked about this raid in passing in one of my recent videos about Idi Amin. Great job.
Rest on Yoni...
I can only imagine when Nigeria, my country, can care about her citizens this way. Even those held hostage within Nigeria by ragtag terrorists are left to their fate.
Shalom! We honor those courageous soldiers who risked thier lives for this mission. Thank God for their lives.
A brave bunch of men! So glad that everything turned out well save the one lost hero, God Bless ❤🙏
A great nation,Blessed by God
Nairobi is on the good side of history 😍😍😍
I watched this maybe 3 times a year or so ago & I remembered watching the movie when it came out on T.V. & watched it again.
The sad part about it was that David Netanyahu was killed during the raid protecting his team members backs. He was such a dynamic, respected leader of his teammates & was a true hero.
What's the movie called
@@universeearth514190 minutes at Entebbe.
@@universeearth5141
Sorry I just saw your message Hun.
It was, 'The Raid On Entebi'.
I hope you like it.
Entebbe is the correct spelling.
The brother should be called Yonatan
😂😂😂 feverite story ya #Mkuru Saa nimejua why it is feverite
😂😂ww wacha hii sasa ndio kuona ile mambo afro hutuletealive
This documentary deserves a movie where is Hollywood
There has been two movies already. Best in my opinion was the Charles Bronson one.
@@JH-ck1nr I believe there have been four: Victory at Entebbe, Raid on Entebbe, Operation Thunderbolt, and Entebbe/7 Days in Entebbe
Wao
I'm Ugandan, only heard about this operation in history but never watched the docuserie yet. This was an extremely dangerous Operation against Field Marshall Idi Amin Dada, Conguerer of the British empire. Hats off to the Israelis
There were two movies made about this incident and rescue, this documentary is made far better than those.
One movie was with Burt Lancaster and the other with Charles Bronson.
Name of the movie pl
I think I had seen it but that time I didn't know the actual story.
- The movie was entitled 'Raid On Entebee.'
You can't compare a documentary to a movie, both are different. The movie, Raid on Entebbe with Charles Bronson was excellent.
@@kevinmalone3210 Raid on Entebbe is a video I just watched! It’s available on TH-cam; I believe the channel is called Lion Heart.
And I think the other movie is possibly called Victory in Entebbe. I have not seen that one yet.
God is truly with His people...time and time again...the loss of Johnathan and Mrs. Bloch are not in vain....they are in Glory and never forgotten! Hallelujah Amen...This Miracle is always good to watch and rejoice over. God's people never lose. It's beautiful to see! AM ISRAEL CHAI!
An action packed rescue; never knew this before not until now. Been to Entebbe several times as our regional office is at the old airport. I'll watch the full movie.
Better than some action movies. What a great team!!!
This was quite incredible.Good work one people one nation
It's indeed amazing. Awesome soldiers with ambition, passion and determination to free their own people from crocodile teeth. Really impressed with the the cautious planning and within minutes . Indeed, you're blessed and chosen nation of a true God. Praise be unto the most high for thru, Israel, the whole world will be saved. No words to explain, other than blessing you. Glory to God.
I remember that I was about three-and-a-half months away from turning seven years old -- while visiting the State of Maine with my family -- when on July 4th, 1976, it was announced on the radio every hour on the hour that Israeli commandos had successfully carried out an operation. Since I was quite young at the time, I really did not comprehend what the Israeli commandos had actually accomplished, but approximately three months after the rescue operation, at least two made for T.V. movies had been released that showed a recreation of the raid on Entebee, and after watching those movies I attained a true appreciation for what the Israeli special forces had in fact achieved.
even as the Entebbe guards were caught napping so were the sleepingTel aviv guards made it easy for smuggling aboard a peace-flight killing fire-arms.
It's truly said, that " Necessity is the mother of all Inventions"
....and the Hands of God is always with Israel - His Birthplace. 👍👍👍
IDF are truly the best in the world! They’re highly intelligent, innovative, daring and brave! The soldiers have an unmatched will to succeed, because failure is not an option!
God's hand of protection has never left and will never leave Israel❤
watching here sadly...may god bless israel,to all of us...from PHILIPPINES...
I am a Ugandan and I head about this situation as it is in this video
these are bunch of not just intelligent officers but combined with smartness! thats all i can say!
I remember that day when the news of the rescue came out. Just watching this enactment is still heart pounding. It took a lot of imagination and GUTS to pull this off.
Great job guys,you are wonderful blessings
I was 8 living in the Dominican Republic when I saw the movie for the First time and at that moment I decided to name my first Niño en son, Yonatan in name of Yonatan Netanyahu . And now 50 years later my Yonatan is 17…….
Bravo. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻 God bless
Fascinating history, thank you
Hatikvah 🇮🇱, and stationed in Germany when this happened and we were put on high alert, so many high jackings in the seventies. I wore a patch size flag of Israel on my civilian jacket and that's due to growing up in a neighborhood of hundreds of Jewish families and being the only Catholic family. I would go to Temple and we danced and celebrated as teenagers when the six day war was won and we got married in 1973 the Yom Kippur war and by Grace still married to the same beautiful woman whom I admire and love beyond words. Shalom
Bless you in yr faith and marriage..good will prevail
Taking those MIGs like that was a damn cold move. That was a message well sent.
So heroic. That proves as well that God never leaves His chosen nation.
A wonderful historical coverage video of a remarkable operation . how to deal with all kinds of terrorism threats ... Thank you for sharing
Centuries later, this story would be recounted.
My heart grows stronger for Israel. God is indeed with you. You may hurt but Hod is with you always
Very inspiring video on how to use mind and bravery in the battle against terrorists.
This is amazing. I'm a 2500 hour pilot with multi engine turbine instrument ratings. In 1976, I was 13. There was no GPS or Loran. They were navigating using VOR? I'm not sure.
Absolutely incredible operation. The commandos are in a different league, non pareil
What an amazing story, what an amazing nation! ❤❤❤
I just heard about this rescue mission three days ago. I have taken time to watch the mission. It is like drama, like video.Israel should appreciate Kenya.
Very well trained army and one of best
Phenomenal! Bravo!!
Watching this amazing rescue movie again and again. Israel, such incredible country.
Superb Army and lovable country to their people like jesus loves.. 💕✌️🙏
The American army pulled off a great hostage rescue in WWII in Burma. The Japanese had a POW camp there holding over 500 survivors from Corrigador. The Japanese were losing the war and to cover up their war crimes were executing the prisoner's of POW camps by burning them alive. Our soldiers attacked the camp and with very little loss of life rescued all the prisoners. It still the greatest rescue mission executed in U.S. military history. The movie The Great Raid tells the story.
there's a difference between rescuing a soldier and a civilian. A civilian is completely clueless on the procedure to under take while on the move, a captured soldier would do most of the movements by himself regardless of the state he is in.
They're intelligent men..and courageous one.salute you sir. I've read it and watched the movie of this mission..that was many years ago.
Oh man, there are just NO other people like the Istaeli people. Have so much respect for them.
Never underrated the IDF. I lived in Israel. I respect the IDF.
I was 17 years old then and I remember seeing on the news on TV that the hostages had been rescued. All of these years later we now get know some of the details and man, I can't imagine being a hostage or one of the rescuing soldiers. When it comes right down to the meat and potatoes, I want Israel on my side.
Love to Israel from Ghana 🇬🇭
Very fascinating how thunderbolt operation managed to rescue the hostage .
This entebbe operation is still green in my memory thro newspapers those days.
That has also helped Israeli to take up this daring earth shaking mission to rescue the hostages in a silent and deadly ways from a far off land.
It shows the resilience of Israelis to go to any extent to save their country and citizens.
Now of course the time has come for the Israelis to show some diplomatic skills to live in.peace amongst Muslim neighbours.
Afterall Jews,Christians and Muslims are the descendants of Abrahamic order and lineage.
Watching from Entebbe Uganda.... Here in the pearl of Africa we love ISRAEL🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱❤❤
😅 thanks 🙏
I have seen this in TH-cam yesterday. Excellent movie
The moment you see Charles Bronson you know the hostages are all saved.
We can truly see the hand of God working for his children, everything around this operation was purely miracle, God is with Israel 🇮🇱 and will always be
I remember it well. It came within a day or two of the Bicentennial, and was absolutely exhilarating news to hear.
If this happened today, the ICJ would find that Israel committed genocide against Uganda and demand the arrest of the rescue team.
Israel and America are the only countries that care about their citizenship enough to pull movie like stunts in real life
Uhmm no our British cousins from across the sea would send their Royal Marines, the SBS, or the SAS if needs by
@@americaneaglescout1057 Was about to say, the extend that special forces like the SAS would go through to rescue their own citizens in even the most hostile situations is just unbelievable. And they don't even brag about it, it was only after the 1980 Iranian embassy siege in London that the public got to see what these lads were capable of. Applications to join the SAS went up in numbers never seen before, because it was the first time seeing the SAS in action was broadcasted live on TV.
Dont forget german GSG 9 free the Lufthansa Plane Landshut in Mogadischu or german Panzergrenadiere save the Ambasador and civilians in Tirana in the 90s. Seems the germans care too
عظماء 👏👏👏👏🌹حبايب قلبى
The greatest army in the world
God Bless Israel

True brother
A NATION OF MIGHT GOD BE BLESSED ❤
Man they looking just normal and chill & sweet but they brave hearts and dangerous
For those who don't Yoni was Benjamin Netanyahu's brother
We all watched 1st time reports came in that a plane hijacked air france We see the same young soldier who was part of such a brilliant rescue plan is the leader of Israel.. we believe he knows what to do best. Of his fellow soldiers are still their to assist. We trust his judgement he will do what's needed for Israel and to get the hostages home. The world must let them decide how to handle their affairs .They know best what's good for them.
