An ambulance from Magen David Adom that arrived to treat a patient in Jerusalem’s Meah Shearim neighborhood was vandalized during the incident. While the medical team entered the building to provide care, a sticker reading “Jews are not Zionists” was placed on the ambulance, and Israeli flags displayed on the vehicle were sprayed with paint.

Despite the vandalism, the MDA team continued its medical mission without any delay and provided life-saving treatment to the patient.

MDA Director-General Eli Bin said:
“An MDA ambulance is not a political symbol; it is a symbol of saving lives. MDA teams operate everywhere, for every person, without distinction of religion, ideology, or lifestyle. Damaging an ambulance and the state symbols on it is crossing a red line and directly harms the ability to save lives.”

Magen David Adom stated that it views the incident with great seriousness and trusts that Israel Police will investigate the matter and take firm action against those responsible.
