Inside Magen David Adom’s new training center in Ramla, Israel’s emergency responders face realistic scenarios designed to prepare them for the moments no responder ever wants to get wrong—from rocket strikes and battlefield injuries to medical emergencies inside clinics, supermarkets and kindergartens.

In this special report, Kayla Sprague of ALL ISRAEL NEWS speaks exclusively with Uri Shacham, MDA’s Chief of Staff and Deputy Director General, about the training, the risks facing responders and the mission behind Israel’s emergency medical service.
