Israeli officials discuss covert rescue planning for Entebbe hijacking, referencing past military cooperation with Idi Amin's Uganda The passage reveals internal Israeli deliberations about a possible rescue operation, naming senior defense figures (Shimon Peres, Dan Shomron, Benny Peled) and linking them to past military training of Idi Amin’s forces. It provides concrete names and a timeline (suggestions by next morning) but lacks evidence of actual execution or illegal activity, limiting its investigative value. Key insights: Shimon Peres (Defense Minister) was to be briefed on a rescue plan.; Senior Israeli military officers (Dan Shomron, Benny Peled) and operatives were mobilized for planning.; Reference to prior Israeli training missions for Idi Amin’s army in the early 1970s.
