I am so glad that they finally made this operation public after all these years. These people deserve to be recognized for their heroics and the message of warning needs to be sent out to terrorists. Yoni gave his life so many could live and is a hero that will never be forgotten. Israel can be proud of what they accomplished here. There’s no shame in what they did

I don't know whether there is any better bravery, wisdom, patriotism and success in world history than this one!!!💚💛❤️

[ianluscious]

The fact that Nairobi played part in this, makes me proud as a Kenyan . Kudos to the team involved, R.I.P to the one's had gone !!!

[patsheppard]

It’s been a number of years but we are still proud of all of you for your courage in doing the right thing. I smiled seeing all of you again on this video.

My best friend, a commando with Sayeret Matkal, under the command of Yoni Netanyahu, was part of the time. He was my so-called blood brother. A hero, a friend, like none other!

Certainly the greatest rescue mission of all times. Very high intelligence, and brave men determined to do what's just. My utmost respect to the IDF.
To the fallen RIP!💐🙏

This rescue made me cry 😢 tears of joy of rescuing the hostages and you brave and wonderful guys did it in 59 minutes a minute less than your target time of 60 minutes. Thank you Lord for guiding and guarding all of you ❤️😉🙏🙏🙏🙏

As a Kenyan the stories i heard about this showed my country's involvement to have been much more than told here.
We love Israel, great mission such great story telling. kudos

[judygreggor]

I remember this very well. We, in South Africa, were in awe of what the Israeli Team managed to accomplish. My husband and I still talk about it.

[vidyaanakru-tgsg]

Few events in the history of humankind can be called legendary - this is certainly up there on the top of a short list

[nishantkisoon]

Rescue operations in a foreign country, surrounded by soldier, no allies enemies everywhere, relying on old maps, memories, experiences, old knowledge and lots of improvising by thinking out of the box! man i dont have words to salute those brave men and their craziness of success. This is history most remembered and respected rescue operations. Even in our modern world of technologies, taking this mission as an examples of what human can do will always be an examples. Salute 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[adriantschanz]

Israel can be so proud of its army and the way they care about citizens of their country. Smart, fast and pragmatic... I salute you!🙏🏻

[patricioganio]

The success of this operation makes me feel like, Israel is a country that pledges a definite "NO ISRAELITE, CIVILIAN OR MILITARY, IS LEFT BEHIND", that everyone's life is as precious as the country itself. Salute to the brave soldiers who participated in the operation, and the Senior officers who planned the operation ... perfect!

[malikbogosi]

I learned this at school in SA. It’s crazy how much risk they took to save those hostages.

[GM-fhjp]

What an awesome account of that historic rescue. I remember it well when it hit the papers the next morning and it was quite a topic of conversation for everyone at work.
One older guy summed it up well when he said. "Don't f**k with the Jews they have long memories and a very long reach"...and he was right.
What a glorious chapter in military history for the brave soldiers and their commanders.
Thanks for posting!

[nsikakessien]

Certainly the greatest hostage rescue of all time.
Maximum respect to the lDF.

[conradmorin]

You guys are all for your losses.>>>May they rest in peace, and never forgotten.

[ellenmcdaniel]

The fact that they took off without official government approval shows these guys were made of complete steel.

[carrieannmcleod]

This rivaled any Hollywood action blockbuster but it was real and it happened. I remember the incident and wondered what would happen and when the news of the raid on Entebbe was broadcast, I was not only surprised but wondered how they could've achieved such an impressive rescue. Thank you for this program; it explained what all went into the rescue. The sheer magnitude of planning, organization, determination and speed of the Israelis were amazing. I don't think any other country could've pulled that off. Fantastic job by all who were involved.

[BensonNyasae]

I watched this documentary with so much emotion. Am glad all went well for the IDF and my country participated in getting the hostages home safe. Mad love from Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪
