(Jerusalem Post) Yaakov Lappin - IDF Paratrooper St.-Sgt. Ceirgio Albarran, 21, who moved to Israel from Venezuela in 2006, has been cited for extraordinary bravery under fire during the 2014 Gaza war. On July 23, on the outskirts of Khan Yunis, he suddenly heard a blast nearby and found members of his unit under the rubble from a wall that had collapsed on them. "I started evacuating them all, one by one," said Albarran. As he rescued his fellow soldiers, Albarran saw terrorists emerging from a tunnel shaft behind the collapsed wall and opened fire. At the same time, terrorists on the second floor of a nearby building fired at him as well. "In one hand, I dragged them, and in the other, I shot back," he recalled. "I rescued a total of eight, including the company commander....He was a big guy, and the hardest to evacuate." As Albarran dragged his commander to safety, a bullet pierced his ankle, but he completed the last 50 meters to safety. 2015-02-06 00:00:00Full Article
