Over 700 participants from Israel and more than 200 guests from 40 countries took part in the event. They were addressed by Home Front Commander Maj.-Gen. Eyal Izenberg. The conference ended this week with a simulation of a mega mass casualty incident in which a plane crashed into a building near Ben Gurion International Airport.

A second drill was held at Tel Hashomer Medical Center.
