IDF shows footage of wounded evacuated by air in Lebanon video

The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) have released footage showing the evacuation of wounded personnel by Israeli Air Force helicopters in Lebanon.

The statement published on the IDF’s official Telegram channel said that the IDF forces under the Northern Command continue targeted ground operations to expand the security zone in southern Lebanon, Caliber.Az reports.

“Israeli Air Force helicopter crews and soldiers remain on constant standby and are deployed in real time to evacuate the wounded quickly and safely, bringing them to hospitals for medical treatment as fast as possible,” it added.

Soldiers operate alongside ground forces to provide initial medical care and streamline the evacuation process with helicopters, alongside Medical Corps teams delivering life-saving treatment in the field, the footage shows.

“The casualty evacuation effort is a mission of the highest value, and since the beginning of operations against the Hezbollah terrorist organisation, dozens of evacuations have been carried out, including complex helicopter evacuations from Lebanese territory,” the statement concludes.
