To quickly respond to attacks or crises, the Israeli police will start arming civilian volunteers. Agence France-Presse (AFP) reports about this.
Israel Police Chief Inspector Kobi Shabtai and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir have decided to establish rapid response units that operate in all Israeli cities under the auspices of the police.
347 new units will be equipped with 13.2 thousand volunteers who will receive firearms and protective equipment.
