Israeli military search and rescue teams operating in southeast Turkey save a 7-year-old girl from a collapsed building a short while ago, the Israel Defense Forces says.
The girl’s uncle gifts one of the IDF Home Front Command rescuers an old coin as a token of gratitude.
The rescue brings to 12 the total number of Turkish civilians the IDF teams have managed to rescue alive from the rubble as a result of the devastating earthquake.
