Israeli and Turkish teams rescued a 3-year-old boy amid the rubble of a collapsed building in the town of Cinarcik. Tuesday’s dramatic rescue of the toddler, who was trapped for six days in the wreckage, came as the Israeli team prepared to leave, in accordance with a Turkish government decision to phase out the rescue operations due to concern over an outbreak of disease. Meanwhile, Turkey asked the Israeli Army hospital to continue operating for at least a month.
