      Also on the jaeger corps theres a book by a former operator from that unit that you might find interesting. His name is thomas rathsack, the book's title is jaeger. But I'm not sure if it's available in english or not, i have it in german.

      The Entebbe Operation (Operation Yonatan) afaik was not carried out by the Mossad but rather by various IDF units like the Shayetet13, paratroopers, Golani, 8200 intelligence unit and others.
      Raid has a negative connotation, as if the IDF assaulted them. In reality it was a brave, out worldish, james bond like rescue operation.

    Absolutely amazing episode! There’s such a plethora of Special Operations elements across the world, from the widely known US Delta Ninjas & ISA and the British SAS / SBS regiments to the lesser known South African Recee’s, Polish GROM, etc. The operational history of any one of these groups is fascinating. Post World War II the Mossad conducted various brilliant hits on Nazi war criminals who had escaped to South America as well as those who had been recruited by the Egyptians to advance their nuclear weapons program and ICMB development. You have to figure for every one operation that is publicly known, there’s a minimum of a dozen that will never be.
