NewzUganda’s military has unveiled a monument dedicated to Yonatan Netanyahu, the older brother of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The ceremony took place in Kampala, Uganda, marking the tribute to the Israeli soldier who was killed in 1976 during a high-profile hostage rescue operation in the East African nation.
