Unit 669 is the Combat Rescue and Evacuation Unit of the Israeli Air Force and one of the four elite units of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF). Today, Unit 669 is responsible for the rescue and evacuation not only of all distressed military personnel, but also of all Israeli citizens in need, wherever they may be and wherever they reside.
Join AIFL to learn more about Unit 669’s current actions during the War in Gaza during a discussion with AFU669’s Executive Vice President, Bar Reuven, and one of the Unit’s Combat Paramedics, who was a first responder on October 7. Learn more about how Unit 669 has adapted during this war to continue their original mission while also expanding their mission, and maintaining a semblance of balance as life continues forward. We will have a conversation about:
Israel’s only National Security Rescue Service and their enhanced mission response; How soldiers try to balance war and duty with everyday life; and How you can support the good work of “Tikkun Olam”
