🇮🇱🇨🇴 ISRAELI RESCUE TEAM CONTINUES COLOMBIA QUAKE MISSION: Israel’s 80-member aid delegation is continuing search-and-rescue operations in Cali following last week’s 7.4-magnitude earthquake, which killed nearly 300 people, injured about 4,000 and left at least 140 missing. Brig. Gen. (Res.) Yossi Pinto said the Israeli team is working at three of five heavily damaged sites where people remain missing, but warned that after nearly eight days, the chances of finding survivors alive are increasingly slim. The delegation is also helping Colombian authorities assess damaged schools, public buildings and medical facilities as efforts gradually shift toward recovery and rehabilitation.
