QUNEITRA CROSSING, Golan Heights — Seven wounded Syrians __ two children, four women and a man __ waited in pain for darkness to fall to cross into enemy territory. Under the faint moonlight, Israeli military medical corps quickly whisked the patients across the hostile frontier into armored ambulances headed to hospitals for intensive care. It was a scene that has recurred since 2013, when the Israeli military began treating Syrian civilians wounded in fighting just a few kilometers (miles) away. Israel says it has quietly treated 3,000 patients — a number that it expects to quickly grow as fighting heats up in neighboring Syria in the wake of a chemical attack and, in response, an unprecedented U.S. missile strike. While the numbers are a tiny fraction of the hundreds of thousands of dead and wounded in the six-year Syrian war, both doctors and patients say the program has changed perceptions and helped ease tensions across the hostile border. Dr. Salman Zarka, director of the Ziv medical center in the northern Israeli town of Safed, is a former colonel in the medical corps who served on the Syrian border. He said he “couldn’t then have imagined setting up a humanitarian program for Syrians” Now his hospital has delivered 19 Syrian babies and sends prescriptions with patients back into Syria. “All this makes it more human, more complicated,” Zarka said, adding that he worries about patients he knows on a first name-basis who have returned to Syria. In Thursday night’s rescue, medical officers decided that two of the seven patients had wounds that were too urgent to wait and so radioed in a helicopter. Soldiers carried the two on stretchers beneath the whirring blades as the helicopter lifted off into the inky night sky. “We check their breathing, their pulse, their blood pressure — all their vital signs,” said Lt. Omri Caspi, a medical officer. “We take a look at their injuries, we saw the cuts, we checked the chest, the heads, everything, and then we decide which treatment they need.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/israel-treats-thousands-of-war-wounded-syrians/2017/04/08/7664a6b4-1c29-11e7-8598-9a99da559f9e_story.html?utm_term=.bd902d3b0b13

ollah2:atleast israel is treating thousands of syrians and do not forget Syria has never recognised the State of Israel and does not accept Israeli passports for entry into Syria. Israel also has regarded Syria as an enemy state and generally prohibits its citizens from going there. There have not been diplomatic relations between the two countries since the creation of both countries in the mid-20th century. so tell me sir how many jews or christians can be accepted by muslim countries or even treat them? as for the support of the war..do u support a government killing her own citizens? its funny when u say israel supports isis..lol...the same isis that fired a rocket inside israel today?the same way goodluck jonathan and ihejirika founded boko haram right.. .......................................................................................................................................................................... Revealed: How the five wealthiest Gulf Nations have so far refused to take a single Syrian refugee Four million Syrians have fled, most live in Middle Eastern refugee camps More than 30,000 have risked their lives to reach European shores in 2015 Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain have resettled 'zero' refugees Amnesty International described their inaction in the crisis as 'shameful' More than four million Syrians have been forced to escape the never-ending civil war ravaging their country and the barbaric terror group carving a bloody trail across the Middle East. The vast majority live in overcrowded refugee camps in Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt and Iraq - all under threat from ISIS - and record numbers are making the perilously long journey to Europe. Yet, as debate rages between politicians in Europe over how many they should take, nearby super-wealthy Gulf nations of Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain have refused to offer sanctuary to a single Syrian refugee. Amnesty International's Head of Refugee and Migrants' Rights, Sherif Elsayid-Ali, described their inaction as 'shameful'. He said: 'The records of Gulf countries is absolutely appalling, in terms of actually showing compassion and sharing the responsibility of this crisis... It is a disgrace. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3222405/How-six-wealthiest-Gulf-Nations-refused-single-Syrian-refugee.html |

cristianisraeli:Perhaps when the muslim countries start sending missiles like Isreal they will begin treating them. Regarding your last statement, how did the Syria government killed her own citizens? We have heard this times without number from Iraq's Hussein to Libya's Gaddafi which most of it turned out to be false flags. |

cristianisraeli:So much for the MSM lies. You consider hezbollah a terrorr organisation, well they aren't in anyway one. |
| Re: Israel Treats Thousands Of War-wounded Syrians by ollah2: 4:06pm On Apr 10, 2017 |
cristianisraeli:The same crisis that the west created. If they hadnt invaded Syria, would it have been a mess? The shameful people here are the west that initiated this war in the first place |

ollah2:hmmmm..its not MSM lies... Hezbollah is a Shi'a Islamist militant group and political party based in Lebanon,Hezbollah's paramilitary wing is the Jihad Council, and its political wing is Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc party in the Lebanese parliament. After the death of Abbas al-Musawi in 1992, the group has been headed by Hassan Nasrallah, its Secretary-General. In May 2013, France and Germany released statements that they will join other European countries in calling for a EU-blacklisting of Hezbollah as a terror group.[324] Countries and organizations below have officially listed Hezbollah in at least some part as a terrorist organization. Arab League The entire organization Hezbollah Australia Hezbollah's External Security Organization Bahrain The entire organization Hezbollah Canada The entire organization Hezbollah European Union Hezbollah's military wing France The entire organization Hezbollah Gulf Cooperation Council The entire organization Hezbollah Israel The entire organization Hezbollah Netherlands The entire organization Hezbollah New Zealand Hezbollah's military wing Al-Muqawama al-Islamiyya, since 2010. United Kingdom Hezbollah's military wing United States The entire organization Hezbollah same as boko haram is not a terror organisation and hamas is not a terror organisation too right? lastly do u know that lebanon was the paris of the middle east before they allowed palestian/arabs/muslim refugees and when they grew in numbers they started a civil war by killing christians and today lebanon is almost a muslim country and its highly unstable and remember it was the PARIS of the middle east and a major christian country |

cristianisraeli:If you consider Hezbolah a terrorist group, what would you label CIA, Pentagon and MOSSAD as? |

ollah2:The west did not invade syria you need to get your facts right but all you can say is that the west supported the rebels thats the free syrian army FSA and you can say western intel agencies supported the rebels to remove assad..let me tell you what started the war Pro-democracy protests erupted in March 2011 in the southern city of Deraa after the arrest and torture of some teenagers who painted revolutionary slogans on a school wall. After security forces opened fire on demonstrators, killing several, more took to the streets. The unrest triggered nationwide protests demanding President Assad's resignation. The government's use of force to crush the dissent merely hardened the protesters' resolve. By July 2011, hundreds of thousands were taking to the streets across the country. Opposition supporters eventually began to take up arms, first to defend themselves and later to expel security forces from their local areas. Violence escalated and the country descended into civil war as rebel brigades were formed to battle government forces for control of cities, towns and the countryside. Fighting reached the capital Damascus and second city of Aleppo in 2012. By June 2013, the UN said 90,000 people had been killed in the conflict. By August 2015, that figure had climbed to 250,000, according to activists and the UN. The conflict is now more than just a battle between those for or against Mr Assad. It has acquired sectarian overtones, pitching the country's Sunni majority against the president's Shia Alawite sect, and drawn in regional and world powers. The rise of the jihadist group Islamic State (IS) has added a further dimension. |
