Since the early hours of the morning, hundreds of paramedics, doctors, and EMTs from United Hatzalah have been providing lifesaving medical care on various battlefields in the southern region and have unfortunately had to pronounce many of the injured dead.
At the behest of the security forces on the field, a logistics division truck from the organization transported part of the deceased to the Abu Kabir Forensic Institute in Tel Aviv.
Approximately 100 rescue vehicles, ambulances, and mobile intensive care units, as well as armored vests, helmets, and a significant amount of medical equipment and personnel, were dispatched from the north and center to different areas in the south.
The medevac helicopters of United Hatzalah and Lahak Aviation evacuated some of the injured to hospitals in central Israel and United Hatzalah teams scattered across southern Israel provided initial treatment to hundreds of victims with varying degrees of injury.
The CEO of United Hatzalah has ordered the organization to raise its preparedness to its highest level, reinforce the response to routine calls, and switch the sound of ambulance sirens to a sound that does not resemble the sound of air-raid sirens.
