The Home Front Command expert delegation in Venezuela is conducting structural triage on buildings to enable continued rescue operations following the earthquake, according to documentation released by the IDF Spokesperson and reported by N12.
The Home Front Command delegation in Venezuela has released new documentation showing its team conducting structural triage — assessing the stability of earthquake-damaged buildings — to enable continued search-and-rescue operations. The footage, published by the IDF Spokesperson and reported by N12, comes two days after the IDF reported on Friday, Jul 10, at 18:04 Jerusalem that the delegation had begun implementing the national earthquake recovery plan, approved by the President of Venezuela and the Minister of Infrastructure.
The delegation's mission has evolved rapidly since its arrival in late June. On Friday, Jul 10, at 18:04 Jerusalem, the desk reported a series of developments: the team had shifted from rescue to rebuilding, assisted in drafting a national reconstruction plan, and conducted structural assessments while briefing residents. The same day, the IDF confirmed the delegation had begun implementing the recovery plan, and earlier reports documented the team stirring emotions among local citizens and receiving an Israeli flag left by a Christian family as a gesture of gratitude.
The Israeli mission, a joint effort of the Home Front Command and Foreign Ministry, operates despite the absence of formal diplomatic ties between Israel and Venezuela. The delegation is part of a broader international relief effort that has swelled to 16 nations, as The Zioneer reported on Jun 27, with the EU activating its civil protection mechanism and deploying 520 rescuers.
While the structural triage is a critical step to enable safe access for rescue teams, it remains unclear whether survivors are still being located in the affected areas. The documentation does not indicate the scope of ongoing rescue operations.
