The emergency squads are an all volunteer force, comprised of veterans of elite military units. These squads are the first line of defense in containing terrorists, to whatever extent necessary. As witnessed in some settlements near Gaza, such units effectively repelled numerous Hamas militants, protecting thousands of lives. These squads are all volunteer and need to provide their own gear at a cost of approximately $1500 per team member. We are raising funds for the Kiryat Malachi squad (approximately 20 minutes from Sderot) which is comprised of 10 team members.
