- The mission, known as "Alliance of Brothers," involves the IDF, Ministry of Defense, and Foreign Ministry, with Brig.-General Yossi Pinto leading both active-duty and reserve personnel.
- Maj. Shai Klapper, commander of the Home Front Command, said the team aims to provide immediate life-saving assistance through quick mapping of destruction sites to locate survivors.
- Israel previously sent a delegation led by Pinto to Venezuela after over 6,000 fatalities in June, which helped reintroduce consular relations that had been severed since 2009.
