Col. (res.) Yoram Laredo thought that he had experienced the most dramatic event of his life when he headed the Israel Defense Forces rescue team sent to Nepal after the country’s 2015 earthquake.
“The earthquake had destroyed half the country, a truly heartbreaking event. But it was a one-time event – the earthquake happened and then it was over.
