Yoni Netanyahu

Yonatan "Yoni" Netanyahu (1946-1976) died in Entebbe when the Israeli military attempted to rescue hostages from an airliner. He was the leader of the assault, and the only Israeli military casualty of the raid.

His younger brother Binyamin (nicknamed "Bibi") would later become Prime Minister of Israel from 1996 to 1999.
