MDA is going to establish 1,000 local teams to be located near where the terror threat is most imminent, including communities in the north, the Gaza Border, and West Bank.

Israeli ambulance service Magen David Adom (MDA) has established community-based emergency response teams that will provide medical treatment to wounded individuals when terrorists block access to hospitals, they announced on Tuesday. 

The initiative, known as the Magen Project, was designed to address future military-style terror attacks.  

The emergency response teams were developed in the wake of both the mass Iranian aerial attack and Hamas’s October 7 attack – in which terrorists murdered over 1200 people and kidnapped over 250 more.  

MDA will also provide the teams with stores of medical equipment, and connect them to MDA’s National Operations Center, through which they will be integrated into a vast network of EMTs and paramedics.
