Israel was surrounded by Arab countries whose goal was to eliminate Israel, instead of waiting to be attacked, Israel did the opposite by attacking its enemies, it was through this that they won the war in six days. In December 1994, an Air France jet was hijacked by terrorists who issued an ultimatum that if Israel does not negotiate, they would kill all the hostages. Instead of negotiating, Israel sent its military to rescue the hostages in Entebbe, all hostages were rescued and all the terrorists were killed.
