Major Exercise in Shar HaNegev Council


The IDF Homefront Command on Sunday in conjunction with MDA Emergency Medical Service, Israel Police, and other local volunteer emergency response and local governmental agencies held a major preparedness exercise in the Shar HaNegev Regional Council.
 
For a first time, residents were ordered into safe rooms and bomb shelters for an extended period of time, seeking to measure the ability of area residents to endure a prolonged bout in shelters in the event of yet an additional escalation, a full scale war or some level of IDF military response. 
 
Many residents explained they are capable of enduring whatever they must if they know the situation is finite, that the IDF is working to bring an end to rocket fire, but the current reality, never-ending attacks without a response, is the worst of all possibilities.
