| Magen David Adom ambulance | 101 | Medical emergency and ambulance dispatch. |
| Fire and Rescue | 102 | Fire, rescue, trapped people, hazardous incidents. |
| United Hatzalah | 1221 | Volunteer emergency medical response. Call 101 for official ambulance dispatch. |

Tourist and visitor safety notes
Give your location first. If you do not know the Hebrew address, give the hotel, landmark, junction, beach, station, or map pin. Ask someone nearby to speak Hebrew if needed, but stay on the line yourself if you are the witness.
For rockets, sirens, or security instructions, use official Home Front Command guidance. Do not rely on forwarded messages when official alerts are available.
