President Isaac Herzog Visits United Hatzalah Headquarters, Showcases New Lifesaving Technologies

Mar 12, 2026·2 min read

Israeli President Isaac Herzog visited the headquarters of United Hatzalah where he was briefed on several new technologies designed to improve emergency response times and save lives across Israel.

During the visit, leaders of the volunteer emergency medical organization demonstrated advanced GPS dispatch systems that allow nearby medics to reach patients within minutes. They also presented new drone technology capable of rapidly delivering critical medical supplies and equipment directly to emergency scenes.

The visit came during a particularly painful time for the organization. United Hatzalah is mourning the loss of one of its dedicated volunteers who was killed in a recent rocket attack in Beit Shemesh. A special dedication ceremony was held during the visit in her memory, honoring her service and commitment to saving lives.

In remarks delivered at the headquarters, Herzog warned that Israel’s enemies are attempting to weaken the country’s morale through repeated attacks and constant rocket sirens.

“They are trying to break our spirit and harm morale but they are confused,” Herzog said. “The people of Israel are strong and have extraordinary resilience.”

The president also praised United Hatzalah’s nationwide network of volunteers, noting that their commitment to helping others in moments of crisis reflects the strength and unity of Israeli society.

When asked if he had a message for Jewish communities around the world during these challenging times, Herzog responded with three simple but powerful words.

“Am Yisrael Chai.”

The visit highlighted both the technological innovations helping improve emergency medical response in Israel and the extraordinary dedication of United Hatzalah’s volunteer medics who continue saving lives under difficult circumstances.
