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.
