Official: Broken Samaria Terror Hotline 'Costs Lives'

There's a major problem with the emergency call-in hotline system in Judea and Samaria, said Yossi Dagan, head of the Judea and Samaria Council.

Speaking Monday, Dagan revealed that calls made to the emergency number dedicated to residents of the region (reached when dialing 1208 on a cellphone) don't always get answered – and in fact, one out of three calls are basically “ignored.”
