why are the IDF there?

because they volunteered and the Miami emergency response was willing to accept their help. They were then authorized to participate in the operations. The article lists many other countries this unit has also volunteered to help.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

It's highly correlated with rockets being fired off nearby. Quite predictable.

Which are correlated with illegal confiscation of land and property by Jewish settlers. Which is correlated with so on and so forth.

Which is correlated by Arabs loosing wars they started against the state of Israel. Heck many of those “settlements” are people returning to their ancestral lands of judea and sumeria. Which was taken by the romans and named Palestina.

Very interesting! Does anyone have more information on how they were selected? It's not exactly a local operation.

A bunch of missing residents belonged to the same synagogue. The IDF unit was one of several international search and rescue teams to volunteer.

I love this very methodical, Sherlock Holmes style of investigating. It clearly worked too. They found 84% of the 100 victims.

The key insights seem to be:

1) Despite the chaos, the debris of a collapsed building can be mapped to the structure as it was when standing.

2) All sorts of information can be used in figuring out where you are - the breed of a dog corpse, a scrap of paper with the name of a victim's rabbi...

3) Be skeptical of secondary sources (estimates of the number of victims...)

4) Bureaucrats will be obstructive just by doing their job as if nothing has happened (we can't tell you that...)

One thing that was not mentioned, but which I imagine was part of the calculus, is what people are likely to do at the first sign of trouble (in this case, noise and shaking) - head for the stairs, go to the window, wait for it to stop...

> They found 84% of the 100 victims.

The chilling and sad realization that it wasn't "They found 84 out of 100 victims"

why are the IDF there?

It is called "publicity stunt".

They want to wash the bloods off their hand in the public view. They have killed more than 100k Palestinians since they have occupied their land in 1948. And the fun fact here is that the IDF has roots in the terrorist groups like Haganah, Irgun and Lehi:

Even today, IDF is a terror group and executes terror plots across the world. This is separate from their daily killing and torture of the Palestinians.

This is a myth. Many so-called Israelis come from Africa and elsewhere, while the others' claim about their fathers being there 4000 years before, is also invalid and irrelevant to claim over a territory today.

Anyway, none of their claims legitimize Israelis actions in killing and terrorizing Palestinians, including women and children:
