An Israeli traveler, 27 years old, who got into trouble in northern India, was rescued tonight (Saturday) in a complex operation by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with the "Magnus - Rescue and Rescue" company.
A distress signal from the traveler, who suffered from altitude sickness during a trip to the state of Jammu and Kashmir in northern India, reached the company's global headquarters in Israel, which immediately acted urgently to rescue him, and Celine Alkokin, the Israeli consul in New Delhi, also joined the mission.
While the rescue teams were being organized, the young man's condition deteriorated and there was real fear for his life.
"The complexity was doubled and doubled in this case due to the altitude sickness the traveler was suffering from," said Lavala rescuer and field man Hilik Magnus.

In the meantime, the consulate contacted a local deputy minister and the Indian Air Force, and arranged for a military rescue helicopter to be sent out, without the assistance of the IDF attaché. The military helicopter joined the rescuers of Magnus - Rescue and Rescue, after he could not find the group and even intended to return to the base. Alkokin spoke directly with the pilot and demanded that he not return until the Israeli was in distress. At the same time, the consul spoke with the local hospital in the city of La, and arranged for the team to receive the rescuer. The
complex international operation was also joined by Ilanit Levy, from the Department of Israelis Abroad in the consular wing, who accompanied the event throughout the night.
She informed that there has been a significant improvement in the condition of the Israeli, who is insured by the "Passportcard" company, and that his life is no longer in danger.
An official who was involved in the rescue told Walla that "this is another event that proves that values of determination, professionalism, creativity, concentration on the goal, striving for a solution, activation of local parties, optimal cooperation with the Magnus rescue company, also bring victory."
Tal Tusk, VP of Magnus - rescue and rescue, told Walla that "the time factor is very significant in such rescues.
A critical element in saving this life was the satellite device that the travelers had, as well as the resourcefulness of the friends who were with them, their behavior and their composure."
