A special moment took place in Albania yesterday. The IDF delegation sent to help the Albanian people recover from a devastating earthquake, shared good news with Muslim leader Baba Mondi that after inspection by IDF experts, his mosque was safe to pray in & could be reopened.
Being able to send an aid delegation to help the people of Albania after an earthquake, has a much greater meaning to the people of Israel than what one would initially think. Here’s why:
Our aid delegation to Albania has completed its mission & returned home to Israel. 1,600 Albanian families can now return to their homes as a result of IDF operations to secure buildings, schools & hospitals hit by the earthquake 2 weeks ago. 🇮🇱 Mission Accomplished 🇦🇱
