The delegation also visited the old terminal in Entebbe, where the military operation to free the hostages, took place. Dr. Netanyahu said Kaddish and lit a memory candle in honor of Yoni.
The items included books Yoni gave to Yosef, the unit's shirt, a sleeping bag, gloves and a compass.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Damascus Gate both a symbol of terrorism and the fight against it.

The evening was especially symbolic for Netanyahu whose older brother Yonatan “Yoni” was killed while leading the Entebbe raid.

Over the years some of Netanyahu's detractors have accused him of using his brother's story for his own political benefit.
