As part of the visit, the American delegation observed a Home Front Command training site and held a workshop on how to process trauma cases and other challenging experiences.
In addition, the US task force visited an Iron Dome battery, "which further emphasized the theme of life-saving technologies and methods," said the Israeli military.

"The strengthening of bonds between various search-and-rescue teams is a constructive and meaningful way of ensuring a better response to the global community in times of crisis," the IDF said.
The first Israeli delegation arrived at the disaster zone within 72 hours of the building's collapse in June, bringing with it 3D mapping technology.
