PHOTOS: Immediately upon arriving to Eretz Yisroel, the HEART Team members were briefed, fitted with bullet-proof vests and helmets and practiced donning WMD gear and masks. They then Davened and quickly ate the Friday night Seudah. There was no time for sleep.
The HEART Team ALPHA – consisting of 10 members from the US and 4 members from Europe, were divided into three groups and deployed to MDA stations in Sderot, Netivot and Ofakim.
“Teams are BH all safe after an exhaustive weekend of running on many calls, running to the shelter often multiple times each hour and transporting sick and wounded civilians and soldiers to Seroka Trauma Center”, a Team member tells TLS.
Over Shabbos, the IDF conducted dozens more targeted air strikes over Gaza, as nearly 200 more rockets were fired into Israel. Many of them were shot down by the Iron Dome. The strikes killed dozens of terrorists, and damaged terrorist infrastructure.
Since the start of the current crisis which began about days ago, over 700 rockets have been fired into Israel, with several of those reaching as far as Tel Aviv and Yerushalayim.
There are no reports of civilian casualties over Shabbos. TLS.

I think it’s nice that they went. Does that mean that israel has a shortage of medics?
Hoping to see you back at the Press real soon. All ours tefilot are with you and all of klal yisroel. Rob et al
@question man
Many of the MDA medics/EMT’s are reserves that called in, as therefore they have a shortage.
Michael, you missed a great simcha but you are doing a wonderful thing by stepping in to assist Magen David Edom. Regards to Eli and we hope the rest of the members stay safe. Y33
