Operation Entebbee: The Greatest Rescue in History

Sassy Reuven is a veteran of the Israeli Defense Force. During the terror-filled years of 1973-1976, Sassy served in the IDF’s elite “Red Beret” paratrooper unit. He participated in several covert operations in Israel’s mighty struggle against Arab terrorism.

In July 1976, Sassy participated in the famed Entebbe rescue mission code named “Operation Thunderbolt”, flying thousands of miles over enemy territory to rescue Jewish hostages being held by terrorists in Uganda.

Sassy will share his personal experience, step-by-step from the moment he was called to duty, including the preparation for the mission, landing in Uganda & completing the mission behind enemy lines.

His story is Israel’s story--a story of courage, endurance, optimism and a willingness to sacrifice it all for the right to live in freedom.
