Uganda's military chief unveiled a memorial statue dedicated to Yonatan Netanyahu at Entebbe Airport on Saturday, marking 50 years since the historic hostage rescue operation. The dedication ceremony also commemorated the four hostages who were killed during the 1976 raid.

During the unveiling event, the Ugandan military chief described the monument as a testament to the enduring friendship, security partnership, and mutual trust between Uganda and Israel. He had previously stated that the construction of the statue was inspired by a dream in which he was instructed by 'My God Jesus Christ' to build it.
