Uganda's military has unveiled a statue honouring Lt. Col. Yonatan Netanyahu, the older brother of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was killed during the 1976 Entebbe hostage rescue operation. The monument was revealed by Ugandan military chief General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, who praised Netanyahu's "leadership and ultimate sacrifice" as "an enduring symbol of courage, duty and selfless service." The ceremony, held at the site of the historic raid in which Israeli commandos freed over 100 hostages held at Entebbe Airport (Uganda), also saw Kainerugaba distance modern Uganda from the regime of former dictator Idi Amin, under whose rule the operation took place.
