Two individuals who operated the ambulance, Musa and Muhammad Sheet, were claimed as Hezbollah members in January.

“In the heat of the moment, you must stay calm, perform your duties, and don’t think about terrorists or other dangers,” Yonatan Rachamim, a United Hatzalah medic, says.
On that day, hundreds of United Hatzalah volunteers poured into southern Israel – despite the danger – in order to save lives.
Dozens of ambulances that were built and armored in the US were purchased in an emergency procurement for the war.
