Israeli Drones Aid Mexican Rescuers in Venezuela

Israeli-founded XTEND drones are aiding Mexico's Las Topos rescue teams in quake-struck Venezuela at 08:14 IDT after the government approached the company for help locating survivors. A first-person post by mission facilitator Marc Beckman says XTEND drones worked with Topos for 72 hours before a man trapped between a collapsed ceiling and a wall was pulled to safety at 5:00 a.m. The team used AI tools, 3D maps and thermal or infrared sensing around La Guaira to guide safe routes through rubble. The story is a quiet Israeli answer to disaster politics: Jewish-state technology and rescue discipline are saving lives far from home.
