Magen David Adom will be stationing an ambulance with a non-Jewish driver in the community of Elad on Yom Kippur in response to a request made by the community’s mora d’asra. The non-Jew will remain in the community on-call for the entire fast.
This is the second consecutive year that MDA Director-General Eli Bin has accommodated the community’s request, HaMevaser reports.

Hatzalah’s Nefashos is docheh Shabbos and Yom Tov but not Yom Kippur? As a Hatzalah member from the US, someone explain to me how this community in E”Y is different then the rest of the country and communities around the world that relies on Hatzalah on Yom Kippur?
