Thanks to Israel, there was an amazing rescue this weekend – a feat weeks in the making, and teetering on the edge of disaster time and again, before culminating in an incredible success. The vaunted “White Helmets” of Syria, long targeted by the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, and his Russian allies as rebel sympathizers and worse, were rapidly being surrounded by regime and ISIL forces on the march. If any were to survive the conflict, the only option was an escape.
