WATCH: IDF Medical Units Treat Wounded Syrians
by TheTower.org Staff | 08.09.16 1:53 pm

Eight seriously injured Syrians, including children aged seven and 11, were treated by IDF medical teams at the Israeli-Syrian border last week before being evacuated to hospitals for further treatment, Ynet reported Sunday.

The wounded were brought to the border fence following an artillery attack on the hospital in Quneitra, reportedly carried out by forces of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad.

The wounded suffered from injuries to all parts of their bodies as well as burns. Dozens of IDF medical personnel worked under the cover of darkness to stabilize them.

“We were forced to call in medical teams from the armored corps who happened to be doing drills that day in the Golan to supplement the medical forces of the brigade which is normally responsible for the area, alongside various reserve forces,” explained medic Micky Almakis.

Seven medical teams, including high ranking medical personnel were called to the area. The two children had burns all over their bodies and were in real danger of losing their lives. They were groaning from the pain they were in. Now, they’re recovering and being taken care of by the best people. Their grandmother came to accompany them, and thanked us for treating them. The wounded Syrians were surprised at the care and compassion we gave to them when they crossed the border over to us.​

The medical team was forced to perform emergency procedures, including opening blocked airways and draining fluid from chests, immediately upon the Syrians’ arrival in Israel.

“The kids looked terrible,” recounted IDF paramedic Michel Pushkov. “We gave them medicine, and despite the fact that they were terrified, they answered our questions. The moment they understood that I was there to help them, they looked a lot happier. They were administered fluids and sterile blankets to prevent against infection and hypothermia.”

The fighting in the area has been fueled by a push by Assad’s forces to capture territory on the border with Israel.

There have been 2,500 Syrians treated in Israeli hospitals since Israel began accepting casualties from the war three years ago.

Aside from the humanitarian aspect to saving those wounded in the war, cooperation with rebel groups near Israel’s border also affords Israel a measure of protection, as Jonathan Spyer described in How Israel Navigated Through the Hurricane of the Syrian Civil War, which was published in the March 2016 issue of The Tower Magazine.

It is an open secret in Israel that the country maintains relations with Sunni rebel elements in the area adjoining the border in Quneitra Province. The reason is to ensure that they remain the dominant force on the border, rather than elements aligned with the Assad regime, Iran, or the Lebanese terror group Hezbollah. The Israeli policy of providing medical aid to Syrian civilians and wounded rebel fighters from this area is clearly an aspect of this policy (in addition to purely humanitarian considerations). The precise nature of the assistance afforded the rebels is not known. No evidence, however, has emerged of direct military aid. Given the great efforts to which Israel goes in order to ensure a clear intelligence “picture” of events in southwest Syria, it may be assumed that intelligence sharing probably forms part of the relationship.

The rebels located close to the border are a mixed bunch. In the southern corner is Liwa Shuhada al-Yarmouk, a rebel group of long standing which is now clearly affiliated with the Islamic State. Israel has closely followed the movement of this organization in the direction of IS and is concerned about it. The relations between Israel and the group are hostile, though they have not yet resulted in open violence. There are Israeli concerns that a second rebel group in the area, the Harakat al-Muthanna al-Islamiya organization, may also be moving closer to the Islamic State.

According to informed sources, Israeli contacts with rebel elements close to the border are not limited to the Western-supported rebel coalition called the Southern Front. They also include elements sympathetic to and affiliated with Sunni Islamist groups. Israeli sources note that the rebellion is a fragmented, localized phenomenon. As such, it has been possible to foster small-scale cooperation independent of the broader ideological sympathies of these groups. As a result, one former senior security official described the area east of Quneitra Crossing as a “virtual security zone” for Israel.​

This pic is lame fake. You can see that sings are attached over his skin and not burnt inside. Plus if he had that percent of heavy burns he would never survive. Its some skin disease or just fake.
 
Today is 40th anniversary of Tal Zaatar massacre. Christian militias supported by Assad troops slaughtered 1,500 Palestinians in 1 day. 50,000 other Palestinians were expelled and never returned to their homes.

I hope you read this comment while you are sober, Yemen is on our southern border so we expect some clashes from Yemen side.




I don't drink at all but I hope I'm not interrupting your jihad time since you guys seem to blow yourselves up a lot. Afghanistan was also on our border yet we never has Soviet bases attacked which resulted in countless soldiers including generals being killed.

Again, the only thing that comes to mind is incopedence.





Russian terrorists are fighting away from their homeland and so coward to send Russian ground forces to fight but they instead have recruited Iranian Mutaa fighters and Afghani Shia mercenaries.





Do some research before you post. Russian forces have been fighting on many fronts, mostly special forces that do recon or call in air strikes or as advisers that train and then coordinate Syrian soldiers in battle. The Saudis, on the other hand have to hire foreigners to fight for them because their military is a failure.

Saudi has liberated 80% of Yemen with the least causalities ever as we just lost about 100 soldiers, not hundreds as you claimed.




Right, yep Saudi military bases are repeatedly attacked killing dozens of soldiers a day. By now probably hundreds of Saudi military vehicles have been attacked including tanks, MRAPs, APCs, IFVs, and trucks, but according to you they have only lost 100 soldiers. :lol:

In 1 month Israel lost over 100 soldiers and they are superior to Saudi Arabia in every way, superior battlefield planing, superior soldiers, superior pilots, superior intelligence and they have at least as good weapons and in many cases better.

The US has also lost over a hundred soldiers in Iraq per month. If your claim of 100 soldiers in 17 months is true then Saudi Arabia has the best military in the world but considering all the times they have been ambushed with Saudi soldiers fleeing we know this is not the case.






Saudi is taking Yemen war so easy that you even ask people



What has Russia achieved since it started its terrorist campaign?





They have helped capture thousands of km of land and hundreds of strategic locations.
 
People celebrating by burning burkas and clipping of their beards after liberation of Manbij. Seriously, IS has probably been the biggest failed social experiment ever.

Of course, let me add a P.S., it doesn't matter which group frees which city in which ever. There will always be a photo opportunity of a few people dancing and happy. Doesn't say anything about the situation.

Islamic State of Iran is much bigger experiment than Islamic State of Iraq.

The only people who seem to like them are the people who don't live under them.
Unfortunately both Islamic States have large popular support too (although its much smaller they pretend).
