(Jewish Chronicle-UK) Anshel Pfeffer - At an Israeli Air Force base, UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters stood ready to carry flight-crews, doctors, paramedics and fighters of Unit 669, the IAF's search-and-rescue unit. The squadron's main role during the war has been to fly teams of Unit 669 into Gaza on evacuation missions of wounded IDF soldiers - swooping in low, often under fire, to makeshift landing-areas and ferrying the wounded back to hospitals in Israel, while the doctors and paramedics have only a few minutes to try to stabilize and treat their patients. Lt.-Col. O, a veteran pilot, said, "We've learned a lot in a thousand missions we've carried out in this war in Gaza. We measure ourselves by the time that elapses from the moment a soldier is wounded in Gaza....Our average time over the war is an hour and five minutes until the wounded soldier is in hospital. Most missions now are completed within less than an hour from the wound."2024-03-11 00:00:00Full Article
