Uganda has unveiled a statue commemorating Yonatan Netanyahu, the brother of Israel’s prime minister, who died during the Entebbe rescue mission.
Netanyahu was leading an operation to free more than 100 hostages when he was killed. He was the only Israeli soldier to die in the mission.
The memorial links Uganda directly to a dramatic episode associated with Entebbe, where the rescue effort took place. The unveiling recognises Netanyahu’s role in the operation and the circumstances in which he lost his life.
The source material did not provide further details on the ceremony, the statue’s exact location, or the officials who attended. The latest confirmed development is that Uganda has unveiled the statue in his memory.
