While millions of Americans celebrated the 200th anniversary of their independence, thirty of Israel's elite commandos flew 2,000 miles to Entebbe, Uganda, under the cover of darkness, in a desperate attempt to rescue 105 Jewish and Israeli passengers hijacked by terrorists on an Air France flight. Lt. Col. Yonatan Netanyahu, a courageous and celebrated soldier, led the daring operation. Virtually the entire group of hostages was liberated and returned safely to Israel, but Yoni was killed in the operation that was described by the New York Times as having \"no precedent in military history.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);\"\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(51, 51, 51);\"\u003eYoni's Last Battle: The Rescue at Entebbe, 1976 is a gripping account of the operation.
