How Israel Defense Force Aided
Combat Wounded in Six-Day War

Much has been written recently
about the military and strategic
preparations made by Israel in
the days preceding the Six-Day
War. Much less has been written
about the medical preparation
prior to the outbreak of hostilities.
The Medical Tribune, published in
New York, has outlined Israel's
preparedness in terms of medical
facilities and personnel.
The Israeli Defensive Forces
(IDF) assumed charge of field
medical units , in mid-May, gath-
ering vehicles for ambulance duty.
Hospitals and clinics were cleared
of all but the critically ill. Operat-
ing room equipment and ward
beds were moved into nonmedical
buildings so that if necessary they
could help house the great num-
bers of casualties expected. It was
estimated before June 5 that air
raids would cause between 50,000
and 60,000 civilian and military

casualties.

The Hadassah-Hebrew Univer-
sity Hospital near Jerusalem
planned its medical conditions for
four stages — alert, alarm, war,
and war with hospital under at-
tack. Medical material was
checked, and hurried restocking
was accomplished.

Blood was collected by Magen
David Adom, Israel's Red Cross.
When war erupted on June 5,
the IDF medical establishment,

under Col. Eliyahn Gilon, chief
medical officer, was ready for
action.

The regular Israeli defense forces
