The true and personal story of the operations-officer of Sayeret Matkal (Unit 269), the prime unit of the IDF.
"I was born in 1953 in kibbutz LEHAVOT HABASHAN. My parents were Holocaust survivors and came to Israel in 1946. In 1972, I enlisted in the army and was accepted into an elite unit of the IDF, which today is allowed to be named 'Sayeret Matkal'. In 1976, when an Air-France plane was hijacked and rerouted to Entebbe, I was the Operations Officer of the 'unit', under the command of Yoni Netanyahu z”l. In my capacity, I was very much involved in preparing the unit for the Operation. I took part in the mission as a commander, together with 33 soldiers, to free the hostages and bring them safely home."
