Haifa’s Rambam hospital practices dealing with chemical weapons attack

Rambam Hospital in Haifa holds a missile defense exercise that includes training medical staff’s response to a chemical attack.

The exercise includes the transfer of all personnel to the hospital’s underground bunker, and treatment of hundreds of people with pretend chemical burns.

The exercise brings together a broad array of Israeli agencies that would be charged with handling the fallout from a massive rocket barrage of the northern city that included the detonation of chemical warheads. The IDF’s Homefront Command, various ministries and emergency rescue services all take part.
