(Ynet News) Yoav Keren - On Oct. 8, 2023, Noga, 27, Head of Operational Command for the Paratroopers' Special Forces brigade, sent a text message to Guy, a reserve combat paramedic in the Air Force Rescue Unit 669: "I need a rescue helicopter. We've got casualties. Can you help me?" No one would guess that this conversation was between an engaged couple who had already set a date for their wedding. "Our unit's deputy commander was seriously wounded," Noga recalls. "I couldn't get through to the command center to request a rescue helicopter....So, I sent a WhatsApp to Guy," who contacted a friend from 669 who serves at the Air Force's control center. "It's one of the reasons why the unit's deputy commander is alive today. After a challenging six-month rehabilitation, he returned to his position and is back on the ground again in Gaza." Since the beginning of the war, Unit 669 has rescued and evacuated more than 2,000 wounded. Guy has recounted the events of Oct. 7 and the war from his perspective as a combat paramedic in 669 in his new book, The Rescue: October 7 through the Eyes of Israel's Para-Rescue Commandos. 2024-12-03 00:00:00Full Article
