Biography
Born in Netanya, Yatom worked in the Shin Bet, and was one of the agents involved in the Kav 300 affair in 1984. According to Haaretz correspondent Gideon Levy, Yatom "smashed in the skulls of two bound, unarmed teen-terrorists with stones and iron rods."[1]
For the 2003 elections he was placed 23rd on the Likud list,[2] and entered the Knesset when the party won 38 seats. Whilst an MK he served as a member of several committees; the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, the Internal Affairs and Environment Committee and the Labour, Welfare and Health Committee. He was also a member of the parliamentary inquiry committee for the Amona events.
Prior to the 2006 elections he was placed 32nd on the Likud list, and lost his seat when the party won only 12 seats.[3]
