Israeli forces in Gaza conduct training exercises to improve search-and-rescue operations.

The IDF and the Shin Bet on Thursday announced the killing of Islamic Jihad northern Gaza operations chief Mamdouh Lolo.

Lulu helped plan all of the Islamic Jihad military and terror operations during and before the war for many years.

He was especially involved in masterminding attacks against Israeli territory and the home front in general.

Soldiers in the IDF's Search and Rescue Unit 669 recently conducted drills with IAF helicopters and Mobility Unit 5515 to improve their systems of rescuing wounded soldiers from the field of battle.

Soldiers in Unit 669 generally operate directly on the battlefield, taking the wounded out of the line of fire before the helicopter units transfer them to hospitals in Israel while on-board crews administer continued medical aid. 

This is a developing story.
