conversations.value: Operation Thunderbolt (film): On June 27, 1976, four terrorists belonging to a splinter group of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine under the orders of Wadie Haddad boarded and hijacked Flight 139, an Air France Airbus A300 in Athens, Greece.\nTwo of the terrorists are West Germans named Wilfried Boese (Klaus Kinski) and Halima (Sybil Danning), and the other two are Palestinians.\nAfter landing to refuel in Libya, the four hijackers force the airliner to take off once again.\nWith President Idi Amin\'s (Mark Heath) permission, the terrorists divert the airliner and its hostages to Entebbe Airport in Uganda.\nThe hijackers are joined at Entebbe by more Palestinian militants.\nAfter identifying Israeli passengers, the non-Jewish passengers are freed while a series of demands are made, including the release of 40 Palestinian militants held in Israel, in exchange for the hostages.\nThe Cabinet of Israel, unwilling to give in to terrorist demands, is faced with difficult decisions as their deliberations lead to a top-secret military raid.\nThis commando operation, "Operation Thunderbolt", will be carried out over from home and will take place on the Jewish Sabbath.\nWhile still negotiating with the terrorists, who now numbered seven individuals, the Israeli military prepared a group of Lockheed C-130 Hercules transports for the raid.\nThe transports refuelled in Kenya before landing at Entebbe Airport under the cover of darkness.\nThe commandos led by Brigadier General Dan Shomron (Arik Lavie) had to contend with a large armed Ugandan military detachment and used a ruse to overcome the defenses.\nA black Mercedes limousine had been carried on board and was used to fool sentries that it was the official car that President Amin used on an impromptu visit to the airport.\nNearly complete surprise was achieved but a firefight resulted, ending with all seven terrorists and 45 Ugandan soldiers killed.\nThe hostages were gathered together and most were quickly put on the idling C-130 aircraft.\nDuring the raid, one commando (the breach unit commander Yonatan Netanyahu (Yehoram Gaon), brother of future Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu), and three of the hostages, died.\nWith 102 hostages aboard and on their way to freedom, a group of Israeli commandos remained behind to destroy the Ugandan Air Force MiG-17 and MiG-21 fighters to prevent a retaliation.\nAll the survivors of the attack force then joined in flying back to Israel via Nairobi and Sharm El Sheikh.
