Operation

Operation Thunderbolt, known in Israel as Mivtza Yonatan (מבצע יונתן‎, literally 'Operation Jonathan'), also called Entebbe: Operation Thunderbolt in the US, is a 1977 Israeli film directed and co-written by Menahem Golan and starring Klaus Kinski, Yehoram Gaon and Sybil Danning. The film is based on an actual event – the hijacking of a flight by terrorists and the freeing of Israeli hostages on July 4, 1976 at Entebbe Airport in Uganda. The Entebbe raid was known as Operation Entebbe or Operation Thunderbolt.
