The Israeli military on Sunday released new audio recordings of a dramatic rescue operation in the Gaza Strip that took place last year, and issued commendations to several of the soldiers involved.
The incident took place on November 11 when an Israel Defense Forces special unit, whose mission is still secret, infiltrated the town of Khan Yunis in the Gaza Strip. They were identified by Hamas terrorists and a firefight ensued. They were rescued by helicopter, but a colonel identified only as M. was killed by friendly fire.
The recordings depict a short but extremely tense operation, in which the helicopter remains on the ground under fire until all the soldiers could be accounted for.

Eli Beer, the President and Founder of United Hatzalah began CPR on a woman who collapsed at the airport on Monday morning.
Beer was on his way from Israel to London to attend a fundraising dinner to support the work of the thousands of volunteers who make up his organization when a woman collapsed right in front of him.
Beer described the scene at the airport this morning and said:

The Syrian military has sent reinforcements to the Israeli border, according to a report by the U.K.-based NGO Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) on Saturday.

​Progressive firebrand Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez blasted her fellow Democrats for their failure in not moving ahead with impeachment ​proceedings ​against President Trump.

But Pelosi, (D-Calif.) has​ called impeachment a “divisive measure,” urging Democrats to follow the facts before making a decision.

Asked to name something he admires about President Trump on Sunday, presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders identified Trump’s hair and the early hours he keeps, according to the Des Moines Register.
Sanders went on, however, to say that while he respects and admires several of his Republican colleagues in the Senate, he is dismayed that the party has “moved far to the conservative right” since the Eisenhower administration, repeating his frequent characterization of Trump as a racist and a misogynist.
Coming back to the topic at hand, Sanders said, “He gets up at 3 o’clock in the morning to tweet. I’m impressed by people who get up at 3 o’clock in the morning.”
