Maurice Klein speaks with Major (Ret) Rami Sherman, veteran commando of Sayeret Maktal, the premier Tier-1 special forces and deep-reconnaissance unit of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).  Major (Ret) Rami Sherman, fifty years ago was part  Operation Entebbe , code named Operation Thunderbolt,  when the IDF, undertook the long range counter terrorism mission of Operation Entebbe in Uganda,  that was retroactively named Operation Yonatan in honour of Yoni Netanyahu, the commanding officer who led the mission and most sadly was the only Sayerat Maktal fatality of the mission. The mission was launched in response to the hijacking of an Air France Airbus between the cities of Tel Aviv and Paris,  during a stopover in Athens. The audacious rescue operation by Israel in July 1976 , stunned the world when Sayeret Maktal commandos flew 4000 kilometres into the heart of Africa to rescue 102 Israeli citizens, Jews and the French crew held by Palestinian terrorists at the Entebbe airport in Uganda. With the support of JNF Australia, and Christian organizations: Friends of Israel, Bridges for Peace, Christians for Israel , Beersheba Vision and ICVEJ Australia , Rami is coming to Australia with his Operation Yonatan Mission, Entebbe 50 years On Remembering the Raid, Honouring the Heroes and will be speaking in Melbourne July 16th along with other major cities.
