Police say emergency number failure caused by infrastructure work

Police say that an outage blocking calls to emergency service hotlines 100 for police, 101 for paramedics, and 102 for fire and rescue service was caused by “infrastructure work” on the landline system operated by Bezeq.

The numbers are back working after being down for some three hours.

However, police note that repairs are still ongoing.

Police say that in the event that the hotline goes down again, and only for emergencies, the public can send an SMS to 052-2020100.
