Chevra Hatzalah announced Sunday afternoon that an initial team of 11 Paramedics will be dispatched to Israel to assist with the ongoing war effort.
The team – the first in what may become multiple deployments – will be led by Michael Vatch of Queens Hatzala and Yoshi Hagler of Hatzalah of South Florida.
These Hatzolah members are part of the larger “HEART Team” – Hatzoloh – Emergency – Ambulance – Response – Team – which has trained with and is ready to deploy to Israel in a time of war R”L if necessary at a moment’s notice.
Their mission is to offer support to emergency personnel from United Hatzalah and Magen David Adom who are responding to emergencies in Israel and are stretched thin due to their response to the ongoing war.
As the medics make their way to Israel on this unprecedented life-saving mission, please have them in mind when davening.

There must be a shortage of members there.
Bklyntrucker: Either a bad joke or a stupid troll. There is no “shortage” of first responders in EY under any normal situation. Last weekend’s attack resulted in literally thousands of deaths and horrific injuries within a 12 hour period. EY had more than enough first responders for any foreseeable emergency. The current attack was the worse in the entire history of EY and will only worsen further once the ground attack commences in the next several days.
