Operation rescue
Kefalonia Greece
Why I've chosen that particular rescue story?
So... What happened? When did it happen? Where did it happen? Who was there? How did it happen?
The commander of the those days-during which the story takes place (1953), Shlomo Erel, sent IDF (navy of Israel) to practice in the Aegean sea that close to Kefalonia island in Greece with budget of 1,500 US dollars from USA.
The soldiers practice there for four weeks... suddenly, a strong earthquake in the area(7.3 Richter scale)!
The powerful earthquake and the volcano erupts, they risked the life of locals who lived in the Kefalonia island!
But, the IDF came to save them and after they saved them, they also helped them (with British sailors) to continue to live as usual; they present them food and water,protection,medical assistance.
So... Who is the hero in the story?
Arye was born in Israel, in 1930.
He was a part of Palmach.
He served at the tugboat of Hifa Port and was a solider at the first naval officers.
In the story he was captain of the "Hahi Mivtah" Israel boat which he used like an ambulance and took 400 people from this area to the hospitals.
It took 5 hours each time. And 100 people only so it was asail of 20 hours.
Arye Brosh helped alot to the success of this rescue very brave and devoted.

Summary about the project
At this project I learned more new vocabulary.
I learned that it really exists if a person helps someone next time when he will be in trouble maybe this time someone else will help him and it will be worth to him.This story told about that Israel saved Greece and In 2010,Greece was the first country which sent teams of firefighter,planes and firefighting equpment at the fire that was on the Carmel forest.
