Israelis to be kitted for non-conventional warfare

Israelis learned Wednesday that will, in the coming months, be issued with emergency kits to protect them in the event of atomic, biological or chemical (ABC) attacks.

The announcement, made by the defense establishment, comes amid rumors of a possible war breaking out from the north that will see thousands of missiles rained down upon the Jewish state.

But officials stressed the decision to collect, update and redistribute the kits was "a predictable move," and that there was no need for the public to panic.

It would take a few months for the entire population to be provided for.

Earlier this week municipal officials decried the lamentable lack of preparedness countrywide for a possible attack.

While some bomb shelters in the north had been renovated since the Second Lebanon War of 18 months ago, thousands of shelters in the center have not been repaired and prepared.
