Yoni Netanyahu

by Devra Newberger Speregen

Book Overview

Few rescue missions have succeeded like "Operation Thunderbolt," the Israeli plan led by Yoni Netanyahu on July 4, 1976, to rescue 105 hijacked Jewish passengers held captive in Uganda's Entebbe Airport. In her gripping biography Speregen introduces young readers to one of Israel's bravest soldiers. She paints a dramatic portrait of the young man who came to embody Judaism's highest values through his commitment to Israel and the Jewish people. Includes black and white photographs and maps.

Customer Reviews

Benjamin and Yoni are brothers

They are brothers and I have not read the book but read Yoni's diary. He was a great hero and his father Ben Zion is also a great man. His father is a historian and dedicated his life to writing books about Jewish history. I was fortunate to meet Bibi's father many years ago. His father and mother are exceptional people. It is no wonder all their children are so brilliant.

Yes...He was Bibi's brother

Yoni Netanhayu, an israeli hero, was related to former israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu.

Is this guy related to Bibi?
