RBOLT
• On June 27, 1976, an Air France plane flying from Tel Aviv to
Paris was hijacked by Palestinian and German terrorists and
diverted to Entebbe airport in Uganda.
• The hijackers demanded the release of Palestinian and other
prisoners held in Israeli jails and threatened to kill the hostages
if their demands were not met.
• After several days of negotiations, the Israeli government
decided to launch a military operation to rescue the hostages.
• The operation, called Operation Thunderbolt, was carried out
on July 4, 1976, by more than 100 Israeli commandos who flew
to Uganda in C-130 Hercules transport planes.
• The commandos landed at the airport in the middle of the night
and quickly overpowered the Ugandan soldiers who were
guarding the hostages.
• The hostages were then moved to the transport planes and
flown back to Israel, while the commandos destroyed several
Ugandan fighter planes and other military equipment before
departing.
• The operation resulted in the rescue of 102 hostages, including
all but one of the Israeli passengers, and the death of all the
hijackers and several Ugandan soldiers.
• The operation was widely praised for its precision and speed
and had significant political and military implications for Israel
and the global fight against terrorism.

WRATH
OF GOD
• The "Wrath of God" operation was a secret retaliation mission
launched by Mossad, Israel's intelligence agency, in response to
the terrorist attack during the 1972 Munich Olympics in which 11
Israeli athletes were taken hostage and subsequently killed by
Palestinian terrorists.
• The mission began in the aftermath of the attack, when Israel
formed a committee to decide how to respond. The decision was
made to launch a series of targeted assassinations against
individuals deemed responsible for the attack and other high-
profile terrorist operations against Israel.
• The operation was carried out in various countries around the
world over a period of several years. Mossad agents used a variety
of methods to track down and eliminate their targets, including
car bombs, letter bombs, and shootings.
• One of the most well-known assassinations was that of Ali Hassan
Salameh, the chief of operations for the Palestinian terrorist group
Black September, who was killed by a car bomb in Beirut in 1979.
• The operation was controversial, with some critics accusing Israel
of engaging in extrajudicial killings and violating international law.
• The "Wrath of God" operation officially ended in the 1990s, but
some argue that it paved the way for the use of targeted
assassinations as a tool of counterterrorism.
