A major fire drill was held in Knesset on Tuesday, simulating a major blaze engulfing the entire building.

At 2:00PM, the training preparedness exercise commenced, with emergency services called to a fire in the Knesset, compelling everyone to leave, including elected officials, ministers, members of the press and visitors.

It appeared that most of the lawmakers enjoyed the event, taking a break in the fresh air while observing the operation of emergency services on the scene.
