IDF Emergency Instructors briefing the elderly on what to do in case of a rocket attack

The IDF Home Front Command has been very busy these days. Soldiers of the HFC have been to all towns and cities helping civilians trapped under collapsed buildings, watching over children in bomb shelters, and explaining what needs to be done in case of a rocket attack.

Combat soldiers from the Search and Rescue unit and emergency instructors of the Home Front Command have spread throughout the country, teaching citizens what to do in case of rocket attacks. The soldiers visited various civilian locations such as nursing homes, bomb shelters, and popular shopping centers. The past rocket attacks have tested the mettle of IDF emergency instructors, but the IDF is determined and will do anything it takes to ensure the safety of its citizens.
