Female IDF Paramedics Who Treat Syria's Wounded
(Ynet News) Ahiyah Raved - Sgt. Rotem Einav, a paramedic with the IDF Medical Corps on the Golan Heights, has treated over 100 injured Syrians in the past five months. The IDF Medical Corps provides first aid to the wounded Syrians, many times saving their lives. "I wasn't trained to treat Israelis, Jews, or Syrians," she says. "I was trained to treat people. If I see someone who needs help, someone who is in distress, my moral obligation is to help them. I don't even think about it." 2nd Lt. Leshem Shirgaouker said, "This is the greatest place to find yourself as a medical professional. You're here saving lives. It doesn't matter if they're Jewish, Arab, or an enemy. They're here and they're injured, and I will do everything I can for them....When I help send them back to Syria and see that their condition has improved - there's no greater feeling."
