Netanyahu honors fallen brother on 50th anniversary of Entebbe mission

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the grave of his brother Yoni Netanyahu at Mount Herzl to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Entebbe mission. During the visit, he reflected on how the mission to protect Israel from existential threats has influenced his leadership and decisions throughout his career.

The Entebbe operation, which took place in 1976, was a successful counter-terrorism hostage rescue mission carried out by Israel. Yoni Netanyahu, who was a commander during the operation, was killed in action, and his legacy continues to resonate in Israel today.
