How were the horns repaired on that black Sabbath, what problems did the crews have to deal with and what were the feelings they experienced in those moments? We received the answers from Sergeant Major (res.) Zion, who is in charge of the external team, and Sergeant Major Roni Hershko, Chief of Warning Infrastructure, who shared the complex work on October 7.
Hershko, who was transferred to the reserve together with his friends that Saturday, remembers how it all began.
"We heard the alarms as early as 6:27. We started sending teams while we didn't even understand the magnitude of the incident. There was an insane amount of shooting, which in over 18 years on the job I don't remember anything like that."
The two state that the horn malfunctions were due to "power outages, a missile strike and infrastructure problems. When we defended there, there was a smell of death. It was our mission so that the residents would have a warning and save as many as possible."
were we wrong
We will fix it!
