The Israeli Air Force’s elite helicopter-borne search and rescue unit evacuated an elderly American citizen from a cruise in the Mediterranean early this morning, after she apparently had a heart attack.
The Unit 669 crew brought the woman to the Rambam hospital in Haifa, where she is currently being treated.
The evacuation was made following a request made by American officials, according to a military source.
