Honestly who cares? I think it’s pretty clear that the Israelis weren’t going to do any better then the Floridian teams no matter when they got there.

Everyone knows they were only brought in to reassure the families who were asking for them, I’m just curious if they left as their original mandate was one week

Some are leaving tomorrow, the rest on Thursday.

It’s possible the Israelis saw no reason to stay, as their presence/efforts wouldn’t speed things up due to how the people in charge were running things.

I’m not suggesting the work is progressing too slowly, it’s possible everyone was working as quickly/efficiently as possible in light of the circumstances, and the extra Israeli team on hand wasn’t going to make things any quicker.

I think the actual workers went home/ going home since they aren't needed, with more us teams arriving.

Guys like Nir Voch who assist in the planning and 3D models, are staying till Thursday.

Another 4 victims recovered.
Of the 113 unaccounted for only 70 have been confirmed to have been in the building at the time.
Whenever there’s a lightning strike within 2 miles they pause for half hour, which is legally required.

It seems hard to believe it can't be done faster with a larger team, but perhaps there was no way to bring more people or officials had enough knowledge to be confident there was nobody who can be saved.

what is the source for that?

You would think by now they would have figured out who was actually in there

Detectives. Mayor Cava mentioned it today.

i think they should have demolished the remaining part of the building sooner
it seems like that made a huge difference they have found so many people just in the last 2 days
vs how many they were able to find in over a week while it was still there

search & rescue vs search & recovery.

In hindsight this is likely true, but on the other hand demolishing the building could have killed survivors.

It seems they finally got to someone on the 4th floor yesterday.
