After the raid, the Israeli assault team returned to their aircraft and began loading the hostages. Ugandan soldiers shot at them in the process. The Israeli commandos returned fire, inflicting casualties on the Ugandans. During this brief but intense firefight, Ugandan soldiers fired from the [[Control tower|airport control tower]]. At least five commandos were wounded, and the Israeli unit commander, Yonatan Netanyahu, was killed. Israeli commandos fired light machine guns and a [[rocket-propelled grenade]] back at the control tower, suppressing the Ugandans' fire. According to one of Idi Amin's sons, the soldier who shot Netanyahu, a cousin of the Amin family, was killed by return fire.<ref name= eichner/> The Israelis finished evacuating the hostages, loaded Netanyahu's body into one of the planes, and left the airport.<ref>{{cite book |title=Entebbe: The Most Daring Raid of Israel's Special Forces |last=Dunstan |first=Simon |year=2011 |publisher=Rosen Publishing Group |isbn=978-1-4488-1868-6 |pages=51–53 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=KrL9bHLpOq4C&q=Entebbe+%22Jomo+Kenyatta+airport%22&pg=PA53 |access-date=27 December 2012}}</ref> The entire operation lasted 53&nbsp;minutes – of which the assault lasted only 30&nbsp;minutes.
