In response to lessons learned from the October 7 attacks, the Tekuma Directorate, established post October 7th to rehabilitate the Gaza Border communities, along with the Ministry of Defense, and Magen David Adom (MDA) are implementing a new initiative to bolster emergency medical services in the region. The project includes 20 bulletproof ambulances funded by the Tekuma Directorate, as well as four new emergency response and dispatch stations. The total cost of these initiatives amounts to 49 million shekels, allocated from the Directorate\u2019s budget.<\/p>\n

As part of the project, six bulletproof ambulances have already been deployed to the communities of Kfar Aza, Mefalsim, Sderot, Alumim, Re\u2019im, and Netiv HaAsara. These vehicles are integrated into MDA’s existing infrastructure, while emergency stations in the region have been reinforced and expanded.<\/p>\n

Implementing Lessons from October 7<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yossi Shelli, Director General of the Prime Minister\u2019s Office and Head of the Tekuma Directorate, emphasized the importance of these measures. \u201cThe acquisition of bulletproof ambulances is another step in implementing the lessons of October 7. This initiative significantly improves the medical response for residents of the Gaza border area, both during routine times and emergencies, and enhances the personal safety of MDA teams and local residents. We are committed to strengthening rescue services and rehabilitating the communities in the area,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Strengthening Emergency Services<\/strong><\/p>\n

Eli Bin, Director General of Magen David Adom, highlighted the importance of the new ambulances. \u201cMDA faces complex challenges daily, and these bulletproof ambulances will enable our teams to operate safely even under dangerous conditions. Our collaboration with the Tekuma Directorate and the Ministry of Defense, along with the support of our friends in Israel and abroad, allows us to continue providing life-saving care to all residents of the region in the best possible way,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
