K-9 units with the Israel Defense Forces are being credited with the rescue of over 200 civilians from communities near the Gaza Strip, the IDF's Spokesman's Unit said.
An Israeli K-9 unit is being credited with rescuing over 200 civilians while under fire in communities near the Gaza Strip. In battles in multiple communities close to Gaza, Israeli soldiers paired with K-9s went on several rescue missions that 'rescued hostages, saved lives, and eliminated terrorists who had barricaded themselves in houses,' according to the Israel Defense Forces Spokesman's Unit.
In one battle at Kibbutz Kfar Aza, a canine named 'Naro' was sent to find the terrorists and weapons, but ended up revealing the location of a planned ambush on Israeli forces and attacking the Hamas gunmen. Israeli forces were able to neutralize the ambush after being alerted to it by Naro, who died in the fighting. Israeli soldiers were able to locate the K-9's remains and return him to their base for burial.
The next step is to enter the Gaza Strip,' the commander said, according to the Israel Defense Forces Spokesman's Unit. 'The mission is to neutralize all the terrorists we confront in the field; we are ready, we are strong, we are united, and we are going to win.' According to reports, 29 Americans and at least 1,300 Israelis have been killed in the attacks so far. Israeli media has reported that some 1,500 Hamas terrorists were killed in Israel.
