Wasn’t his brother killed in the raid on Entebbe in Uganda?
Yonatan "Yoni" Netanyahu (Hebrew: יונתן "יוני" נתניהו) (March 13, 1946 – July 4, 1976) was a member of the Israel Defense Forces elite Sayeret Matkal unit. His younger brother Benjamin Netanyahu is the current Prime Minister of Israel, and previously held that office from 1996-99.
Yoni was awarded the Medal of Distinguished Service (Hebrew: עיטור המופת) for his conduct in the Yom Kippur War. He was killed in action during Operation Entebbe at Entebbe airport, by Ugandan soldiers, when the Israeli military rescued hostages after an aircraft hijacking. He was the leader of the assault, and the only Israeli military fatality of the raid.
Yes. Yoni Netanyahu was the commander of, and only casualty in, the Entebbe Raid. He planned it and executed it.
