A major preparedness training exercise will take place on Tuesday in Cholon’s Wolfson Hospital, simulating a chemical attack.

The exercise, which will involved hospital personnel and IDF, MDA, Israel Police and other agencies, is scheduled to get underway at 10:00am and it will continue until 3:00pm.

Hospital officials have announced that persons seeking medical assistance should divert to other facilities and only turn to Wolfson in case of a medical emergency during the hours of the training event.
