Hundreds of ZAKA members participated in a drill Tuesday in which they trained to deal with the aftermath of a tsunami. The drill, which began at 3 p.m., continued into the nighttime hours, and included 450 land volunteers and 80 divers.

According to the drill scenario, a tsunami ensued after an earthquake measuring 7.4 on the Richter scale hit Israel, with the quake's epicenter 50 kilometers offshore in the Mediterranean. The tsunami wept ashore at Kibbutz Palmachim near Rishon Lezion, with hundreds of bodies strewn on the beach and in the sea; hundreds more are missing, and presumed dead.
