Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu began an Africa tour on Monday by attending a memorial service at Entebbe airport in Uganda. Speaking on Monday before talks with President Yoweri Museveni, Netanyahu said: "Exactly 40 years ago, Israel soldiers carried out a historic mission in Entebbe. More than 100 mostly Israeli hostages were freed. "I am touched to stand in this place, this very place, where my brother Yoni fell," the Prime Minister said at Entebbe airport. This was where his commando brother was killed rescuing hostages 40 years ago - an event which he has said shaped his future.
