”“I stood on the wing of the Sabena aircraft with my
soldiers. We smashed into the plane and stormed in,”
Netanyahu told Army Radio.
“A woman was lying down with a bullet in her head and
bullets were whistling around us. We saw the terrorists
running to the front of the plane after they shot at
us and I ran after them. Mordechai Rahamim killed one
terrorist and another terrorist was killed by a different
soldier,” the prime minister recounted.
Netanyahu said the entire operation lasted only 90 seconds.
“We were looking for two female terrorists and our big
concern was that they would detonate their explosives and
the plane would blow up,” he said.
“During the search for one of the terrorists, one of the
passengers got my attention and showed me where she
[the terrorist] was. I found the terrorist, grabbed her by her
hair, pulled off her wig and demanded to know where the
explosives were. Marco Ashkenazi ran to help with his gun
cocked in order to help pressure the terrorist.
He slapped her on the face and as a result a bullet
discharged from his gun that hit me and the terrorist,”
Netanyahu said.
