1976: Operation Thunderbolt. A hijacked plane, 100+ hostages, 150 commandos, four C-130s, a 3,800 km flight and a black Mercedes - all in 53 minutes, one of the most daring special operations ever executed.

1/7 The Hijacking:
On June 27, 1976, Air France Flight 139, an Airbus A300, departed Tel Aviv for Paris with a scheduled stop in Athens. On board were 248 passengers and 12 crew. Shortly after leaving Athens, four armed hijackers seized the plane and diverted it south to Benghazi, Libya, for refueling - where a pregnant woman was released. From there, the hijackers forced the aircraft to fly to Entebbe, Uganda. At Entebbe, they were joined by three more hijackers and separated the passengers, eventually releasing 148 non-Israeli hostages while holding over 100 Israelis and Jews, along with the crew who refused to leave.

@visegrad24 It looks like the cable detached from the lifting helicopter, rather than breaking along its length

@clashreport It looks like the cable separated from the lifting helicopter rather than failing along its length.

@trbrtc Thanks for sharing!

From the first look, it seemed like the location to me, it is extremely fortified.

@COUPSURE From the video it looks like the helicopter landed here:
10.442346, -66.9184443
Because the Bunker is not visible from that angle

@Osint613 This number is insanely high

[Global Special Ops @GlobalSpecialOp]

@Alex_RobertsJ It looks more deadly than Apache

@ElbitSystemsLtd Not sure I understand, the system is a spotting device which lets you tag enemies and display them in a digital system?

[Global Special Ops @GlobalSpecialOp]

@Osint613 Probably the best system in the world

[Global Special Ops @GlobalSpecialOp]

@Osint613 Official IDF spokesman said they were 13 IDF soldiers wounded.
Also, they left a vehicle which was later destroyed by Israeli Air Force.

@front_ukrainian Calling it a failure before the meeting even ends says everything about expectations

IDF Eliminates Hezbollah’s No. 2 in Precision Strike in Beirut - Operation "Black Friday"

On November 23, 2025, the IDF, guided by intelligence, carried out a precise airstrike in Al-Dahiya, south Beirut, likely executed by an Israeli Air Force F-35, F-15, or F-16, eliminating Haytham Ali Tabatabai, Hezbollah’s Chief of General Staff and effectively its number two. A veteran since the 1980s, he led the Radwan Force, oversaw Hezbollah’s operations in Syria, and later directed the group’s fighting during Operation Northern Arrows. His death marks a significant blow to Hezbollah’s military leadership and its efforts to rebuild and rearm.

@VividProwess People underestimate how much experience dies with one commander, that’s not easily replaced
