In this episode, we revisit one of the most daring rescue missions in modern history: the Raid on Entebbe, where Israeli commandos flew thousands of miles into hostile territory to save over a hundred hostages held at Uganda's Entebbe Airport in 1976. It's a story packed with tension, ingenuity, split-second timing, and the kind of real-life heroism usually reserved for action movies. We'll unpack how the crisis unfolded, the astonishing preparation behind the raid, and the dramatic moments that turned an impossible mission into a legendary triumph. Buckle up—this episode is wheels up and heading straight into history.
