Zionist Israel preparing hospitals for mega-mass casualty incidents

The Israeli military says it is preparing all hospitals to cope with what it perceives as possible ‘security threats,’ including missile attacks, a report says.

According to a report published by the Israeli daily the Jerusalem Post on Thursday, a senior official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that the Israeli military’s Home Front Command is preparing the hospitals to confront with what he called a chance of chemical and missile attacks.

The report also said that the arrangements have been planned three years in advance and are not connected to the recent events in the region.

The report added that the Israeli military trains hospital personnel to confront with conventional missile attacks, mass-casualty incidents and “mega-mass casualty incidents,” which involve 1,000 or more injuries.

All 27 hospitals in Israel have reportedly gone through chemical weapons incidents drills – including surprise exercises. They experience a total of 25 emergency drills per year.

The Home Front Command has also created underground areas in major hospitals so that intensive care cases can be sent there in case of missile attacks.

The report further added that assumed patients are brought to the hospital with notes attached to them describing their particular condition during the drills.

The Israeli hospitals deal with an average of 200 “patients” during the exercises.
