Approximately 90 soldiers from the Home Front Command's (HFC) Central Command completed a three-day advanced rescue course, designated "Mahlats 03," on Tuesday. The training, held at the Rescue Brigade, aimed to equip HFC soldiers with the necessary knowledge and skills to handle collapse incidents. Participants received professional instruction in engineering, locating casualties, rescue medicine, and relevant combat doctrine, alongside advanced rescue techniques and hands-on experience with various rescue equipment. Practical exercises were conducted throughout the course, culminating in a final drill simulating real-life scenarios of building collapses with trapped individuals. During these exercises, soldiers practiced locating, rescuing, and evacuating casualties from debris.
The training was led by the HFC's Rescue Training Department, which is responsible for training and certifying both civilians and security personnel in rescue operations. The course was provided to HFC soldiers from the Shomron and Etzion brigades and marks the beginning of a series of training sessions intended to cover all HFC battalions within the Central Command's area of operation. This initiative is part of implementing lessons learned from the October 7th attacks, recognizing the need for independent capabilities across all sectors to enable forces to provide a rapid initial response to destruction events. The goal is to enhance the readiness and operational capacity of forces in the Central Command region and improve emergency rescue response capabilities.
