Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin netanyahu was expected in Kenya yesterday evening in a visit that coincided
with the legendary hostage rescue in Entebbe, Uganda. Forty years later the Entebbe operation still reads like a scene from a Hollywood movie. Indeed, movies have been shot and books written on the heroic exploits of the Israeli commandoes.
The raid was even taught at military colleges including the respected Sandhurst as a model special forces operation.
But the rescue plan could not have worked without Kenya’s help. The planes landed in Kenya for refuelling and
the injured were also treated here.
