The IDF "Olive Branches" search and rescue delegation will conclude its activities in Turkey and return to Israel, the IDF announced Sunday afternoon.
After six days, the IDF search and rescue delegation is concluding its activities, during which 19 living people were rescued from the disaster sites of the earthquakes.
The delegation will return to Israel in the coming days, though no exact timing of the delegation's return was given.
The IDF medical aid delegation in Turkey will continue to rescue lives and treat the injured.
Earlier on Sunday, United Hatzalah announced that it is pulling out its rescue and relief mission in Turkey, following a "significant security threat."
"Unfortunately, we have just received intelligence of a concrete and immediate threat on the Israeli delegation and we have to put the security of our personnel first," said Vice President of Operations Dov Maisel.
