For a country constantly under threat from rocket fire, both from it’s northern and southern borders, preparing it’s citizenry for emergency situations is vital.

The IDF has made it a priority to educate children on the procedures to follow in case of a national emergency.  The Algemeiner found this video showing an IDF instructor showing Israeli children how to properly apply gas masks in case of an emergency.

According to numerous reports recently, almost half of Israel will be without gas masks soon, as the IDF is set to distribute it’s remaining 400,000 sets within the next 3 months.
