The IDF Home Front Command is preparing all hospitals in Israel for a range of security threats, including large-scale missile attacks and chemical attacks, a senior military source told The Jerusalem Post on Wednesday.

The preparations have been planned three years in advance, and bear no relation to current events or recent threat assessments. Exercises include training hospital staff to deal with conventional missile attacks, mass-casualty incidents and “mega-mass casualty incidents,” – involving 1,000 or more injuries.

My Comment: Why all the preparations now? Is Israel preparing for war against Iran, a spillover from Syria's civil war, Islamic extremists conducting a terror attack using chemical WMDs or a Hezbollah conflict where chemical weapons are used .... your guess is as good as mine. But one thing is definite .... Israeli planners have made the decision that Israel must be prepared for the possibility of conflict in the weeks/months/year ahead.
