Footage from a body camera worn by soldiers of the Medical Corps during an encounter in the Gaza Strip: "I'm with you — lead me to the injured. Five injured, all conscious. Ready for evacuation."
The IDF Medical Corps, operating under the Technological and Logistics Directorate, has been providing medical support on both the front lines and the home front since the beginning of the war. Medical Corps personnel accompany the injured from the moment of injury in the field, through hospital care, and all the way to recovery and rehabilitation.
The casualty evacuation times during the war are the fastest in the world, thanks to continuous learning and adaptation, close cooperation with the IAF and ground forces, advanced technologies, and a significant increase in the number of senior medics in the field—operating shoulder to shoulder with the combat forces, risking their lives in the process.
In the field of mental health, over 1,000 mental health officers have been active since the beginning of the war. For the first time, IDF mental health officers entered Gaza and Lebanon 80 times to conduct sessions in order to support the processing of combat experiences with combat units.
