OPERATION ISOTOPE:
Ndege ya Sabena flight 571 ilikua ni ndege ya abiria kutoka Brussels nchini ubelgiji kuelekea mji wa Lod nchini israel kupitia Vienna Austria. Ndege hii ilikua chini ya shirika la ndege la taifa la ubelgiji lililoitwa Sabena.
Mnamo tarehe 8 May 1972 ndege ya abiria aina ya Boeing 707 iliyokua ikiongozwa na rubani muingereza aliyeitwa Ronald Levy ilitekwa na magaidi wanne waliokua wanachama wa kikundi cha kigaidi cha kipalestina kilichoitwa black September organization. Akifuata maelekezo yao, rubani kapteni levy aliitua ndege hiyo katika uwanja wa ndege wa Lod (baadae ulikuja kujulikana kama Ben Gurion International airport).
Mkakati wa utekaji huu ulipangwa na gaidi wa kuitwa Ali Hassan Salameth na ulitekelezwa na kikundi cha wanaume wawili na wanawake wawili waliojifanya kama couples (wapenzi) ambao ni; mkuu wa kikundi hiko aliejulikana kwa jina la Ali Taha Abu Snina, Abed Al-Aziz, Rima Tannous na Theresa Halsa. Walikua wamejihami kwa bunduki mbili (handguns), mabomu mawili ya kutupwa kwa mikono (hand grenades) na mikanda miwili ya milipuko (explosives).
Dakika 20 baadae watekaji hawa waliingia kwenye chumba cha marubani (cockpit). Baadae rubani wa ndege ile kapteni Levy aliwatangazia abiria 90 waliokua ndani ya ndege ile ,"kama jinsi mnavyoona, tuna marafiki ndani ya ndege". Kitu ambacho watekaji hawa hawakufahamu ni kwamba mkewe rubani Ronald Levy alikua ni mmoja wa abiria katika ndege ile.
Baada ya kuimiliki ndege, watekaji waliwatenganisha mateka wakiyahudi kutoka katika mateka wote na kuwaweka sehemu ya nyuma ya ndege. Ndege ilipotua, watekaji walitoa demands zao ambapo walitaka kuachiwa huru kwa wafunga 315 wakipalestina waliofungwa nchini israel kwa makosa mbali mbali ya kigaidi na kutishia kuilipua ndege na abiria wote waliokuwepi ndani. Kapteni levy alifanikiwa kutuma meseji ya siri (coded message) kwa waisrael kuomba msaada.
Waziri wa ulinzi wa kipindi hiko wa israel, Moshe Dayan na waziri wa usafirishaji Shimon Peres ambae baadae alikuja kua waziri mkuu na rais wa israel waliongoza mazungumuzo na watekaji wakati huo huo wakiandaa operation maalum ya uokoaji walioibatiza jina la 'Operation Isotope'. Kapteni levy alinukuliwa baadae akisema alipiga story na watekaji wale kuhusu mambo mengi kama urushaji wa ndege na hata mahusiano ya kimapenzi wakati abiria na wahudumu wa ile ndege wakisubiri kuokolewa.
ITAENDELEA.

Sabena Flight 571 was a scheduled passenger flight from Brussels to Lod via Vienna operated by the Belgian national airline, Sabena. On 8 May 1972 a Boeing 707 passenger aircraft operating that service, captained by British pilot Reginald Levy, DFC,[1] was hijacked by four members of the Black September Organization, a Palestinian terrorist group. Following their instructions, Captain Levy landed the plane at Lod Airport (later Ben Gurion International Airport).[1]

The attack, planned by Ali Hassan Salameh, was carried out by a group of two men and two women who pretended to be two couples: the group’s leader Ali Taha Abu Snina, plus Abed al-Aziz Atrash, Rima Tannous and Theresa Halsa.[2] They were armed with two handguns, two hand grenades and two belts of explosives. Twenty minutes out of Vienna, the hijackers entered the cockpit. "As you can see," Captain Levy told the 90 passengers, "we have friends aboard." He concealed from the hijackers that his wife was a passenger on the plane.[2]

Hijacking

Soon after taking command, the hijackers separated the Jewish hostages from the others and sent them to the back of the aircraft.[3] When the plane had landed, the hijackers demanded the release of 315 convicted Palestinian terrorists[4] imprisoned in Israel, and threatened to blow up the airplane with its passengers. Captain Levy managed to send the Israelis a coded message requesting help. Defense Minister Moshe Dayan and Transport Minister Shimon Peres, who would become Prime Minister and later President of Israel, conducted negotiations with the hijackers while preparing a rescue operation, code-named "Operation Isotope."[5] Captain Levy said he talked to the hijackers about everything "from navigation to sex” while the passengers and crew waited to be rescued.[6]

On 9 May 1972 at 4:00 p.m. the rescue operation began: a team of 16 Sayeret Matkal commandos, led by Ehud Barak[1] and including Benjamin Netanyahu,[1] both future Israeli Prime Ministers, approached the aircraft [7] disguised as aircraft technicians in white coveralls.[1] Having immobilized it during the preceding night, they convinced the hijackers that its hydraulic system needed repair. They then stormed the aircraft,[2] killing both male hijackers within two minutes.[8] They also captured the two women hijackers[1] and rescued all 90 remaining passengers. Three passengers were wounded in the exchange of fire, one of whom, 22-year-old Miriam Anderson, later died of her injuries. Netanyahu was also wounded during the rescue when another commando, Marko Ashkenazi, accidentally discharged his gun as he used it to hit Theresa Halsa. The bullet passed through her and penetrated Netanyahu’s bicep.[2]

Aftermath

Halsa and Rima Tannous were eventually sentenced to life imprisonment—Halsa for 220 years.[2] They were freed in November 1983, in a prisoner exchange after the 1982 Lebanon War.[2]

Sabena continued to operate the aircraft for another five years, until it was purchased by Israel Aircraft Industries. It was eventually sold to the Israeli Air Force, and served as a spy plane for many years, participating in most of the Air Force's long-range operations.[citation needed]

Captain Levy, a Royal Air Force veteran who took part in strategic bombing missions over Germany during World War II[1] and also in the Berlin airlift,[1] had joined Sabena in 1952.[1] He retired in 1982[1] and died of a heart attack, at a hospital near his home in Dover on 1 August 2010.[1] The hijacking took place on his 50th birthday.[1]
