'''Operation Isotope'''
 +
Netanyahu was a 22-year-old commando in the elite Sayeret Matkal unit who participated in—and was wounded during—the rescue of [[Sabena Flight 571]] on 9 May 1972.
 +
Role and Injury: Netanyahu was a team leader during the assault. As he was subduing one of the female hijackers, another commando (Marko Ashkenazi) accidentally discharged his weapon. The bullet passed through the terrorist and struck Netanyahu in the arm, resulting in a friendly fire injury.<ref>
