An Israeli Combat Medic Risks His Life to Save Lives
(Ynet News) Itay Ilnai - Guy M., 24, served for five years as a combat soldier and paramedic in IDF Unit 669, the Combat Rescue and Evacuation Unit of the Israel Air Force, and carefully documented his experiences. The result was the Hebrew best-seller From Zero to One Hundred, describing "the ability of the unit to go from zero to one hundred in minutes." Guy, today a medical student at Tel Aviv University, said, "The most active branch of the IDF is the Air Force. For every Air Force mission across Israel's border, no matter where it is, the IDF will not send a pilot out without the ability to bring him or her back home in an emergency. This is our mission."
