An Israeli special forces hero has told of his perilous missions in Gaza to rescue comrades under fire from Hamas.

Master Sergeant G is part of the secret Unit 669, which has rescued hundreds of soldiers on more than 500 ground and air missions since October 7.

The elite troops are trained to SAS standards, but only use their skills to evacuate the wounded in the most dangerous places imaginable. They dodge rocket fire to land in Gaza, meters away from terrorists in helicopters, and aim to get back to the plane with the victim within 60 seconds.

In other missions, they speed across the border in armed vehicles and drive into enemy fire to rescue the wounded by land.

The Mail was given exclusive access to the unit’s base at Tel Nof Air Base near Rehovot, central Israel, where the 29-year-old who we can only identify as MS G talked about his incredible missions.

“Our job is to rescue Israeli soldiers and civilians anytime, anywhere, by air, sea or land,” he said. “It’s about rescuing Israelis where civilian rescue forces can’t reach, so they bring in Israel’s best and most elite rescue team.

‘The unit does this every day, 24/7, all year round.

‘Our motto is: ‘Call on me in times of need, I will be there for you and save you.’

The troops are on standby 24 hours a day. They must be on their way to Gaza within 15 minutes of a call.

Although they are paramedics, they are trained in Israel’s fierce martial art, Krav Maga, and are among the deadliest soldiers in the world. In Gaza, Unit 669 must attack the approaching fire and fight Hamas.

“Every day we come in and out of Gaza,” said MS G. “It is very, very difficult and challenging to land in urban areas where rockets are fired during flight and landing.

‘We challenge the air crews as much as possible because we want to get as close to the victim as possible.

In other missions, they rush across the border in armed vehicles and drive into enemy fire to rescue the wounded by land

“We’ll meet our teams on the ground, we’ll land and we’ll be able to get multiple victims out, sometimes in less than a minute. Sometimes shots are fired a few meters away from us. You’re not sure if they’re our soldiers or the terrorists.’

Every year thousands sign up to join Unit 669, but only 50 pass the grueling fitness tests. They then train for 18 months, but only half finish.

MS G completed his mandatory military service with Unit 669 in 2018 and was a medical student about to get married when war broke out.

In the past three weeks he has lost three younger comrades from the unit. MS G said the survivors “cry together and then come back to base and are on call again. There will come a day at the end of the war when we can say goodbye in a proper way.’

Last month Abbey revealed they had set a wedding date in the Northern Territory.

“It’s a place that was a huge part of my journey to where I am today and a place that means a lot to us,” she told the BBC. Herald Sun.

“So many of our guests have never been to that part of the world, so it’s pretty special to be able to come back there and share with them why we love it so much.”

For the stunning shoot, she wore her honey-colored locks in loose waves and opted for a typically glamorous makeup look.

It’s because she will take part in the final broadcast of Celebrity SAS on Sunday evening.

She reached the last five alongside Matt Hancock, Gareth Gates, Perri Shakes-Drayton and Teddy Soares.

It will be the seventh and final episode of the Vietnam reality quasi-military training show, airing on Channel 4.

In the tough finale, called INTERROGATION, the celebrities must undergo the final physical and mental test as they feel weak from the rigors of the show.

The famed recruits have been captured by an elite Hunter Force deep in the Vietnamese jungle.

They have been stripped of their clothing and belongings and placed in custody in preparation for fourteen hours of interrogation techniques – the most grueling challenge yet.

Danielle said of the final task: “That was probably one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. Forget the heights and stuff like that.

‘This was intense. The sounds literally make your head rise. I hadn’t eaten, I was wet, it was cold. It was just so hard to stay awake and stay focused.

‘You are physically exhausted, but also mentally exhausted. There were so many times when I almost quit.’

Danielle has three sons with ex-husband Jamie O’Hara, a footballer, and a son and a daughter with current husband Michael O’Neill, a personal trainer.

She had her last daughter in November 2021.
