Veterans Aid Americans' Escape from Gaza, Echoing Afghanistan Evacuation

A group of U.S. military veterans played a crucial role in helping five American aid workers escape Gaza and reach Egypt amid the ongoing violence between Israel and Hamas. The veterans, who had previously assisted in the U.S. evacuation of Afghanistan, provided support, communication, and survival techniques to the aid workers, ensuring their safety and facilitating their departure. This successful operation highlights the importance of non-governmental organizations in filling intelligence and communication gaps and supporting evacuation efforts in dangerous areas where official presence is limited. The veterans intend to continue their role in the Middle East and other regions using their military connections and experience.
