During a recent missile attack in northern Israel, Shaked Kadosh (20), an MDA EMT originally from Hatzor HaGlilit, responded to a missile impact scene.

At first, the team treated two people with light injuries. But as they continued searching the area, they found a woman who had been critically injured, and were forced to pronounce her dead at the scene. Around them, civilians stood shaken, trying to understand what had just happened.

At just 19, Shaked has already spent six years volunteering with MDA, responding to calls under sirens, missile fire, and constant uncertainty. “At the end of the day, we are human too,” he says.

And still, he and his team keep showing up, again and again , to treat, to support, and to be there when people need it most. “You meet people at some of their most difficult moments, and in that moment, you have to be their lifeline.”

Yesterday, 18 European ambassadors to Israel visited Magen David Adom’s headquarters in Ramla, where they received a briefing on MDA’s preparedness and ongoing emergency response during Operation “Roaring Lion.”

During the visit, ambassadors learned about MDA’s large-scale preparedness efforts, including advanced training, coordination with national emergency bodies, and the ability to manage multiple incidents simultaneously across the country.

They were also introduced to MDA’s cutting-edge technology, which helps dispatchers make real-time decisions and enables faster response to emergencies.

Belgian Ambassador to Israel, Stefaan Thijs, said:
“What stands out most are the people, teams who operate with dedication, speed, and care, always with one goal: to save lives.”

MDA teams continue to operate 24/7, providing life-saving care wherever there is a need.

Following the missile barrages fired this morning toward central Israel, MDA forces were dispatched to search multiple scenes where reports of impacts were received.

Our EMTs and paramedics arrived quickly at the scene, operated in close cooperation with security forces, including Israel Police, Fire & Rescue, and the Home Front Command. They treated a number of casualties in mild condition, as well as a few people suffering from anxiety symptoms.

At this time as well, MDA teams continue to remain on high alert across the country.
Once again, we urge the public to follow the life-saving instructions of the Home Front Command.

For any medical need, call MDA’s 101 emergency dispatch center.

במגן דוד אדום מחזקים היום את חברינו מ”הצלה” בשכונת “גולדרס גרין” בצפון מערב לונדון, ארגון מתנדבים קהילתי יהודי, שמעניק שירותי רפואה דחופה לקהילה באזור, אשר ארבעה מהאמבולנסים שלו הוצתו הלילה ומגנים את המעשה המזעזע.

נזק מכוון לרכבים שנועדו להציל חיים הוא לא רק שיבוש בפעילות, אלא פגיעה באנושיות ובערכים המקודשים ביותר, המשותפים לנו.

התשובה למעשה נפשע זה היא רק המשך הצלת חיים והתנדבות בקהילה, כפי שעשיתם עד היום, חיזקו ואימצו!

Magen David Adom stands in solidarity with Hatzola, northwest London, following the horrendous attack that led to the destruction of four ambulances.

We are deeply saddened by this senseless act against emergency responders whose sole mission is to save lives and serve their community. An attack on medical teams is an attack on humanity itself.

Our thoughts are with your volunteers, staff, and the entire community you serve during this difficult time. We commend your courage and resilience in continuing your lifesaving work despite these challenges.

As organizations built on the shared values of volunteering and an unwavering commitment to saving lives, we stand shoulder to shoulder with you.

Magen David Adom remains with and sends you the strength to rebuild and continue on your holy mission to save lives.

Since Last Night: MDA Teams Responded to Impact Scenes Across the Country
Sirens were heard across multiple areas, from the Dan region to Eilat, as numerous reports flooded MDA’s 101 emergency dispatch centers. MDA teams were deployed to scan impact scenes and operated under missile fire alongside IDF Home Front Command, Israel Police, and Fire & Rescue Services.
Since last night, dozens of casualties have been treated and evacuated, including 12 in serious condition, among them children. Tragically, one fatality was pronounced in Misgav Am.

At an impact scene in Ma’alot-Tarshiha, teams treated and evacuated 8 people with minor injuries and 10 suffering from anxiety.
In the south, ballistic missiles struck residential neighborhoods in Dimona and Arad within about half an hour, injuring over 120 people. Despite ongoing attacks and severe weather, MDA teams provided life-saving care and evacuated the injured using ambulances and Mobile Intensive Care Units (MICUs).

From Dimona, 39 casualties were evacuated, including a 10-year-old boy in serious condition and a woman in her 30s in moderate condition. Shortly afterward, 88 casualties were treated and evacuated from Arad, including 10 in serious condition and 19 in moderate condition.

This morning, in Misgav Am, a vehicle caught fire following a direct hit, and one person was pronounced dead.
In central Israel, MDA teams responded to several impact scenes, treating and evacuating 15 casualties, including one in serious condition.

MDA urges the public to strictly follow Home Front Command instructions, they save lives. Teams remain on high alert and ready to respond to any scenario.
