Police volunteers from the Etzion-Yehuda rescue unit and Border Police officers from the Mateh Yehuda station conducted a complex rescue operation on Saturday to extract a woman in her 60s from Nahal Sorek in the Jerusalem Hills. The resident of Be'er Yaakov sustained a severe lower limb injury while hiking, rendering her unable to continue. Rescuers reached the injured hiker deep within the terrain and provided initial medical treatment, including bandaging, stabilization, and pain medication. Due to the difficult terrain and the challenges of evacuating her on foot, a drone from United Hatzalah was deployed along with a terrain analysis team from the rescue unit. Subsequently, a police helicopter equipped with a crew from the "Laha" unit of the Fire and Rescue Services was dispatched. The injured woman was airlifted by cable to a 4x4 ambulance from Magen David Adom, which then transferred her to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital. Her condition is described as moderate.
