Navy to deploy ‘floating ORs’ - Israel News, Ynetnews
The IDF and Navy are on high alert ahead of the nearing Gaza flotilla. Fearing an attempt to stop the sail from reaching the Strip would result in casualties, the military has decided to convert mess halls on two missile boats into operating rooms, in order to treat casualties at sea.
Ynet learned Thursday that the decision stemmed from the lessons learned from the first flotilla and the military’s desire to offer immediate medical attention for the injured – if there are any.
Once again showing the high standard the IDF and Navy hold themselves too, particularly in light of the inevitable harsh international media scrutiny that will accompany any action against the participants in illegal flotilla.
