Prime Minister Netanyahu visited the grave of his brother Yoni ob"m today (Friday), who fell leading the operation freeing Jewish and Israeli hostages from Entebbe in 1976.

The Prime Minister and his brother Ido reportedly said the Kaddish prayer and laid a memorial wreath on the grave of their older brother Yoni, who fell heroically in battle. They laid an additional wreath together with Yoni's IDF General Staff Reconnaissance Unit comrades.

The Knesset Speaker, ministers, MKs, former and current IDF commanders, and friends of the family, also attended the ceremony.
