IDF aid delegation concludes a week of operations in Colombia after rescuing 27 trapped people

The Israel Defense Forces's aid delegation dubbed "Alliance of Brothers" concluded a week of activity in Colombia, during which it mainly assisted with search-and-rescue and recovery efforts in the city of Cali.

"Yesterday, the missions to locate and rescue trapped individuals at the three destruction sites where the delegation operated were completed. All 27 trapped individuals were located and rescued. As part of the assistance efforts, engineering surveys and assessments were conducted at approximately 100 public and residential buildings throughout the city, alongside training provided to local professionals," the IDF said.

"The delegation has achieved most of its objectives, and its mission in Colombia is nearing completion. At this time, the engineering team continues its work, while preparations are underway to transfer responsibility to the Colombian authorities and for the delegation’s return to Israel."
