Aryeh Myers, a paramedic at Magen David Adom, tells Fox News Digital how Israel is preparing for an attack from Hezbollah after the Israel Defense Forces said it killed a senior leader of the terrorist group.
Israel’s national emergency medical service is preparing for a response from Hezbollah after the Israel Defense Forces targeted and killed Fuad Shukr, a senior leader of the terrorist group, in Beirut. The IDF strike Tuesday was in retaliation for a rocket attack over the weekend that killed 12 Israeli children and teens on a soccer field in Majdal Shams, a predominantly Druze town in Israel's Golan Heights. Despite confirmations from the IDF and the U.S.
Aryeh Myers, a paramedic with Magen David Adom , told Fox News Digital in an interview that the emergency medical service is on high alert and has ambulances and volunteers ready to go should further attacks break out. 'So tonight, obviously we've been put, again, on high alert due to the incidents that have been happening in Lebanon,' he said following the assassination of Shukr on Tuesday.
More communities now have civilians with some medical knowledge who can provide initial care, while emergency services take time to respond. 'We want to make sure that we have teams, community-based teams everywhere across the country, who can deal with issues as and when they arise,' Myers said.
