At the tender age of 8 when he witnessed a bus bomb explode on the bus he had just descended from, Eli decided he had to do better at saving lives. Incredibly at the age of 15 he started Hatzola. That soon became United Hatzola because there isn’t a village, town or demographic in Israel that isn’t represented within Hatzola. They are in the business of saving lives… within 90 seconds. Eli’s miraculous life has continued with him contracting Covid and surviving after 4 weeks in a coma. Whilst he is not at full capacity just yet, he still found time to give us an interview and if this isn’t full capacity we don’t know what is!
