Since early this morning – Simchat Torah – 7th October 2023 – The State of Israel has been under major attack, with hundreds of rockets being fired into Israeli communities, as well as terrorist infiltrations into Israel.
Magen David Adom has been called since 06:30 this morning to dozens of incidents with victims in various conditions in cities, towns and communities, from the Western Negev, to Beer Sheva, Ashkelon, Tel Aviv and other parts of central and southern Israel.
MDA is on its highest alert, with all vehicles – ambulances, MICUs, medicycles, mass-casualty vehicles, bullet-proof ambulances and other specialized vehicles manned and teams prepared to respond to each and every incident. All ambulances are fully equipped to treat the injured. There is also protective equipment for the teams’ safety.

Israel and Magen David Adom are facing a prolonged, and very serious campaign, and we will require urgent supplies of ambulances, medicycles, and other emergency vehicles, as well as equipment, including medical, safety and blood services equipment.
