Dramatic footage has emerged from the battlefield in Jabaliya showing IDF combat medics racing against time to save a fellow soldier who lost his leg in an anti-tank attack.
Every second counts in these situations: The combination of rapid field treatment and quick evacuation is often the difference between life and death.
The video captures the raw reality of combat medicine: fellow soldiers working frantically to apply tourniquets and emergency treatment while maintaining security in hostile territory.
The wounded soldier was successfully evacuated to an Israeli hospital, where he is currently receiving treatment.
The incident occurred during ongoing operations in Jabaliya, a densely urban area that has seen some of the conflict's most intense fighting.
The IDF has released new data showing enhanced casualty evacuation capabilities across both war fronts.
IDF medical teams have treated approximately 6,000 wounded since the war began, and new streamlined evacuation procedures have significantly reduced transport times to hospitals.
Air evacuations, conducted by both IAF helicopters and Unit 669 rescue specialists, now average 66 minutes from Gaza and 84 minutes from Lebanon. Ground transport takes longer but remains efficient, averaging 91 minutes from Gaza and 111 minutes from Lebanon.
These improved response times reflect enhanced coordination between combat units, medical teams, and air support, which are criticall for saving lives in combat zones.
