49th Anniversary of Mivtsa Yonatan, Happy Birthday America, Added 50 Riddles

Hi Everyone!

On June 27 1976, an Air France flight from Tel-Aviv to Paris via Athens
was hijacked and forced to land in Entebbe, Uganda.
The Jewish passengers were separated and held hostage in demand
to release many terrorists held in Israeli prisons.

After much debate, the Israeli government sent an elite commando unit
to raid the airfield and release the hostages. The commando unit, aircraft crews
and the rescued hostages landed in Israel on July 4, 1976. Yonatan Netanyahu,
the commander of the first aircraft’s Sayeret Matkal rescue unit, was shot and
killed while helping hostages return to the aircraft.

"Operation Entebbe" was later named "Operation Yonatan" in honor of
Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Netanyahu z"l.
The Hebrew yahrtzeit date of Lieutenant Colonel Yoni Netanyahu z"l is
the 6th day of Tammuz.

I created a page with images, newspaper headlines, videos
and articles about the historic Israeli rescue.

May the memory of Yoni Netanyahu be for a blessing,

In honor of the United States of America Independence Day,
I created a page with 14 unique videos and 10 cool USA maps.
