Sabena Hijacking- My Version This movie was shown at the OU last week. It is much less known than the Etebbe story. Bibi himself was shot killing the hijackers of a Belgim airline that was hijacked and landed in Israel General Information Israel, 2015 | Docu-drama , 98 min. Creator: Nati Dinnar | Director: Rani Saar Producers: Nati Dinar, Moshe Edery and Leon Edery, Gilad Janklowicz Production Company: United King and DNA Productions for Keshet Broadcasting Synopsis On the eighth of May 1972, four hijackers from the Palestinian organization "Black September" took control of Belgian Sabena Flight 571 from Brussels to Tel Aviv. The hijacking marked the beginning of thirty nerve-wracking hours, bounding together fascinating human, military and political drama inside and outside of the plane. "Sabena Hijacking - My Version," presents a cinematic reenactment of the events weaved together with genuine archive material and exclusive interviews with three revered Israeli political leaders who were in charge of the rescue effort at the time, as well as the only surviving hijacker.
