A first Israeli rescue delegation is departing for Venezuela, i24NEWS reported Friday afternoon. The report does not specify the mission's size, composition, or exact destination within the country. The deployment follows Israel's assessment earlier this week of a possible humanitarian mission after the 7.5-magnitude earthquake that struck on Thursday, as reported by The Zioneer. Several Israeli NGOs had also been evaluating deployments. As The Zioneer noted, logistical challenges remain due to the lack of diplomatic relations between Israel and Venezuela since 2009. No further details on the mission's timeline or coordination with local authorities have been reported.
