Operation Show Of Force: The Complete Story Of The Raid In Tunis

In 1988, following a deadly attack on a bus near Israel's nuclear facility, Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin ordered a high-stakes secret mission. Operating 1,500 miles from home, Israel’s elite special forces unit, Sayeret Matkal, alongside Mossad, planned "Operation Show of Force." Disguised as tourists and backed by naval and air support, commandos infiltrated Tunis to target PLO commander Abu Jihad inside his heavily guarded villa. This high-quality historical documentary reveals the intelligence, deceptive tactics, and dramatic execution behind one of the most ambitious special forces operations in modern military history.
