What happened

The article says the hostage “selection” at Entebbe, though horrifying, helped Israel plan and execute Operation Jonathan. It also argues that France’s separate deal for its citizens left Israel with fewer hostages to rescue and richer intelligence from those released.

  • 01The Entebbe separation later aided Israel’s rescue planning and intelligence work.
  • 02France negotiated separately for its citizens after the Air France hijacking.
  • 03Mossad used released hostages to learn the hijackers’ positions and airport layout.
  • 04Ninet Moreno secretly mapped the terminal and shared vital details with Israel.
  • 05Michel Bacos and the full crew refused to abandon the hostages.
