“One of my founders, Ami Daniel, I kid you not, as soon as this happened on Saturday morning, he set up a forward command center. Quote, unquote, in which he literally directed the rescuers, literally directed them to where the people were. They've already, you know, systematized this using tech. They've had coders working nonstop since Saturday to get this put together. And it's now been integrated in the whole home front command of the country, how we rescue people. And he rescued hundreds and hundreds of people using the tech community and the resources board.”

The claim, plainly

Following the October 7 attacks, tech founder Ami Daniel established a civilian technology command center that was integrated into Israel's Home Front Command to coordinate rescue operations.

Assessment

The claim is partially true. Following the October 7 attacks, tech founder Ami Daniel did establish an ad-hoc civilian technology command center and software platform (Kvar Baim) to direct and coordinate rescue operations for trapped civilians. However, while the initiative shared real-time data and collaborated directly with military officers and Home Front Command representatives on the ground, mainstream reporting and official government audits confirm that it functioned as an independent grassroots civil society effort rather than a formally integrated unit within Israel's Home Front Command structure.

Ami Daniel established an ad-hoc civilian war room on October 7, 2023, and co-developed the Kvar Baim platform to map location requests and coordinate rescue operations.
The center shared real-time data directly with field commanders, local authorities, and Home Front Command representatives on an ad-hoc operational level.
Mainstream reports and official audits note that the command center operated as an independent civil initiative rather than being formally integrated into the IDF Home Front Command command structure.
