Why did Israel offer medical aid to victims of the earthquake on the Iran-Iraq border?
Israel has offered its world-renowned disaster assistance via the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to victims of a serious 7.3-magnitude earthquake that rocked communities near the Iran-Iraq border in the Kurdistan region Sunday night. More than 500 people were killed and more than 7,500 were injured in the quake. The offer, predictably, was rejected by Iran.
