Emergency Numbers, Emotional Support and Hospitals in Israel
Know which service you need
For a medical emergency in Israel, call Magen David Adom on 101. For an urgent police incident call 100; for fire and rescue call 102. Home Front Command information is available on 104. These numbers serve different purposes: an information line is not a substitute for an ambulance. Do not wait for a response from this community website.
Make your location clear
When contacting an emergency service, describe what happened, give your location as precisely as possible and follow the dispatcher’s instructions. If you are visiting, keep your accommodation address available. Official instructions and local conditions take priority over a general web article.
Emotional support
ERAN offers confidential and anonymous emotional first aid by telephone and online. Its service supports people dealing with distress, loneliness, anxiety and trauma. The contact links below lead to ERAN. For continuing care, contact your health fund or treating professional; immediate medical danger requires emergency medical assistance.
Choosing a hospital
Our separate hospital directory lists institutions and campuses with individual official links or telephone details. Not every listed institution has a general emergency department. Check the relevant service, location and arrangements directly with the institution. The directory is curated and is not a complete licensing register.
