IDF mission to Venezuela begins mapping buildings damaged by earthquake for demolition
Led by IDF Brig. Gen. Elad Edri, the Israeli delegation has been providing engineering experts to assess the vulnerability of damaged buildings that are still standing
Assessment
An Israeli military delegation is now physically mapping earthquake-damaged buildings in Venezuela to identify which structures need demolition. This shifts the mission from general aid assessment to concrete, on-the-ground engineering work. The involvement of a brigadier general signals this is a formal, high-level operational deployment, not a small volunteer team.
