President Isaac Herzog marked the 50th anniversary of Operation Entebbe on Sunday, stating that 'Israel has borders, but no limit to its responsibility.' The remarks were delivered at a ceremony commemorating the July 4, 1976 IDF rescue of over 100 hostages held by Palestinian and German hijackers at Entebbe Airport in Uganda. The operation, which saw Israeli commandos fly thousands of kilometers deep into enemy territory, remains a defining moment in Israeli military and national morale. Herzog's framing of the anniversary — linking geographic borders to an unbounded moral duty — comes amid ongoing multi-front security challenges. No further details or additional statements from the ceremony were yet provided.
