KKL-JNF is outfitting emergency rapid response teams in 85 towns, villages, kibbutzim, and moshavim along Israel’s Lebanese and Syrian borders. These teams are crucial not only for security but also for responding to fires, preventing theft, and handling whatever is needed to protect their communities during these challenging times. Help us equip them with the best supplies to ensure they can respond to any emergency.
The Urgent Need
The attack on October 7 brought Israel into a war with Hamas in the south and Hezbollah in the north, revealing how vital local rapid response teams are. These civilians were the first to act, defending their towns and villages before any external help could arrive.
With ongoing threats from the north, KKL-JNF has identified an urgent need for more resources to support 85 communities near the Lebanese border. Since the war began, KKL-JNF has supplied these teams with the best security equipment available, but more is needed to prepare them fully for every scenario.
Why Support These Rapid Response Teams?
First to Respond
When missiles strike, fires break out, or communities face other dangers, these teams are first to act. They respond quickly, whether putting out fires, securing homes from theft, or dealing with urgent threats before reinforcements arrive. Their swift actions have saved lives and protected countless homes.
Guardians of Their Homes
Over 80,000 residents in the north have been displaced from their homes during the war, leaving their homes and belongings behind. These teams stand guard, ensuring that homes are protected from theft, fires, and other dangers while families are away. Their presence provides much-needed peace of mind in these uncertain times.

Community Protectors
These teams are more than just emergency responders. They are the heart of their communities, stepping up to face any challenge— fighting fires, preventing theft, or providing security in the face of ongoing threats. Their dedication and resilience make them true guardians of their people.
Together, we must ensure these teams are fully equipped to meet any threat they face-a fire, theft, or a security issue. By supporting these rapid response teams, you will be helping to safeguard entire communities.
Join KKL-JNF in this critical effort to ensure these teams have the tools they need to continue protecting the people and homes of northern Israel.
