  "summary": "Uganda's military chief, Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, unveiled a monument to Yonatan Netanyahu, the brother of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, at the former terminal of Entebbe International Airport in Entebbe, Uganda. The statue, unveiled on August 1, 2026, honors the late soldier who was killed during the 1976 Entebbe hostage rescue operation. Kainerugaba, the eldest child of Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, commissioned the monument to pay tribute to Yonatan's courage and dedication to duty. The operation, led by Yonatan Netanyahu, saved 106 passengers who had been taken hostage on an Air France flight, with only three hostages killed in the crossfire. Kainerugaba emphasized the values embodied by the late soldier, including courage, commitment to protecting innocent lives, and steadfast devotion to duty.",
