PM Netanyahu visits his fallen brother's grave

None

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife Sara, visited his brother, Yoni Netanyahu's grave at Mount Herzl. The visit was held prior to Israel's Fallen Soldiers and Victims of Terrorism Remembrance Day, since the visit cannot be held during the official day in light of the necessary security measures.

 

Yoni Netanyahu, the prime minister's older brother, fell in 1976 while serving as the commander of Sayeret Matkal, during the activities surrounding the release of kidnapped Israelis in Entebbe, Uganda. He was shot in his chest and died a short time thereafter. (Attila Somfalvi)
