Summary
This document appears to be a page from a memoir or book (likely by Ehud Barak) included in House Oversight evidence files. It recounts the historical events of the 1972 Sabena Flight 571 hijacking rescue (Operation Isotope). The text describes the tension before the assault, a near-critical error where 'Bibi' (Benjamin Netanyahu) wore identifiable paratrooper boots and hid a gun in them, and the interaction with a Red Cross representative inspecting the disguised soldiers.
