On June 27th, 1976, Air France Flight 139 was hijacked by Germans from the Baader-Meinhof German militant group and Palestinians from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. With no room for negotiation, nearly zero information on the terrorists’ plan, and a deadline of just 48 hours until hostages would start being murdered, the Israeli government and security forces put together one of the most daring, brazen rescue missions in Israeli military history.
Israel Forever invites YOU to commemorate this historic operation and mark this dramatic victory over international terrorism by enjoying the articles, videos and blogs to follow.
