On Thursday, 5 people were killed across Israel in terror attacks, including 18 year-old Ezra Schwartz from Sharon, MA.
United Hatzalah volunteers, highly trained volunteer medics, respond to every emergency or attack and arrive on the scene, on average, in 3 minutes or less. |

Kobi Abstudi, a United Hatzalah ambucycle medic from Tel Aviv who responded to yesterday’s stabbing attack at the Panorama building reported „As I was riding around I was looking to find the scene of the attack and the victims that were scattered in different locations of the complex, I was also keeping an eye out for the terrorist that I knew was still on the loose.”

Kobi added, “I have a wife and 4 year-old son at home, I will respond to every call for help but I also want to come home at night.”
As the terror attacks continue, these volunteers are risking their own lives to help all those who are injured. More and more United Hatzalah volunteers are responding in bulletproof vests in additional to their trademark orange vests. |

“United Hatzalah volunteers are already responding to 700 emergency calls per day, but now we’re seeing an increase of 20% in calls, not just because of the terror attacks, but also because of the state of panic,” said Eli Beer, United Hatzalah’s founder and president.
