The official Israeli rescue delegation has landed in Venezuela for quake relief, N12 reports. The team will spend Wednesday on coordination meetings with local authorities and emergency services before heading into the field on Thursday.
The official Israeli rescue mission landed in Venezuela on Wednesday evening, marking the arrival of the government-led delegation to assist in earthquake relief efforts. According to reporter Keren Bezalel (N12), the team will spend today on coordination meetings with local authorities and emergency services to plan and synchronize operations, and is expected to deploy to the field on Thursday.
The mission follows the earlier deployment of a private Israeli rescue team from Magen, Ready for Rescue, and SmartAID — which has been operating in Valencia and La Guaira since last week and reported extensive destruction. The official delegation, a joint IDF and Foreign Ministry effort, operates despite the absence of diplomatic ties between Israel and Venezuela under the Maduro government.
