Amin also ordered the killing of hundreds of Kenyans living in Uganda in retaliation for Kenya's assistance to Israel in the raid. Uganda killed 245 Kenyans, including airport staff at Entebbe. To avoid massacre, approximately 3000 Kenyans fled Uganda as refugees.<ref name="Keesing27891">{{Cite news |date=22 August 1976 |title=Dispute between Uganda and Kenya |url=https://web.stanford.edu/group/tomzgroup/pmwiki/uploads/1368-1976-08-KS-a-IEM.pdf |work=Keesing's Record of World Events |pages=27891 |volume=22}}</ref><ref name="BBCOn">{{Cite news |date=4 July 2008 |title=1976: Israelis rescue Entebbe hostages |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/july/4/newsid_2786000/2786967.stm |access-date=26 July 2009 |work=BBC News |publisher=BBC&nbsp;– On this day}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last1=Kalinaki |first1=Daniel K. |date=3 July 2016 |title=Entebbe raid humiliated Amin, nearly caused East African war |url=https://www.nation.co.ke/news/Entebbe-raid-embarrassed-Amin--nearly-caused-East-African-war/1056-3277804-1327oaiz/index.html |access-date=27 February 2018}}</ref>

On 24 May 1978, Kenya's former agriculture minister, [[Bruce MacKenzie]], was killed when a bomb attached to his aircraft exploded as MacKenzie departed a meeting with Amin. Some have asserted that Ugandan president Idi Amin ordered Ugandan agents to assassinate MacKenzie in retaliation for Kenya's involvement and MacKenzie's actions prior to the raid.<ref name="jpost1" /><ref>{{cite book |author=Kahana |first=Ephraim |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=pAar3TpYOt4C&q=israel+kenya&pg=PA171 |title=Historical Dictionary of Israeli Intelligence |publisher=Scarecrow Press |year=2006 |isbn=978-0-8108-6500-6 |access-date=26 September 2013}}</ref><ref name="standardmedia1">{{cite news|url=http://www.standardmedia.co.ke/?articleID=2000042641&pageNo=1 |title=Ugandan agents killed former Cabinet minister, says dossier |publisher=Standard Digital News |access-date=26 September 2013}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=KrL9bHLpOq4C&q=bruce+mackenzie+May+24%2C+1978&pg=PA58 |title=Entebbe: The Most Daring Raid of Israel's Special Forces – Simon Dunstan |access-date=26 September 2013|isbn=978-1-4488-1868-6 |last1=Dunstan |first1=Simon |date=15 January 2011|publisher=The Rosen Publishing Group }}</ref> Others have indicated various other possible causes for the bombing, including that another person aboard the plane may have been the target.<ref name="mosaad_mckenzie_2019_05_26_thecitizen_co_tz">{{Cite news |date=9 April 2021 |orig-date=2019-05-26 |title=Mossad, McKenzie, Idi Amin: The strange mix |url=https://www.thecitizen.co.tz/tanzania/news/national/-mossad-mckenzie-idi-amin-the-strange-mix-2682606 |access-date=2020-09-25 |work=The Citizen}}[CAUTION: THAT WEB PAGE INFECTED WITH A VIRUS at time of retrieval].</ref><ref name="Kenyan_digest">{{Cite news |date=2 June 2019 |title=Mystery behind Bruce McKenzie's death lingers on |url=https://kenyandigest.com/mystery-behind-bruce-mckenzies-death-lingers-on/ |access-date=2020-09-25 |work=[[Kenyan Digest]]}}{{Dead link|date=November 2023|bot=InternetArchiveBot|fix-attempted=yes}}</ref> Later, Mossad Chief Director [[Meir Amit]] had a forest planted in Israel in MacKenzie's name.<ref name="jpost1" />
