About time they started handing them out, however they should have started here in the North Seeing how we would be the first area underattack should war breakout.

IDF: Gas mask distribution unrelated to security situation Launch of gas mask distribution project across nation not part of emergency, army official says Earlier, Deputy Defense Minister Matan Vilnai also addressed the issue, making it clear that the gas mask distribution "is unrelated to the security situation or to threats." GAS-MASKS ARE UNRELATED TO SECURITY SITUATIONS OR TO THREATHS !!!. AMAZING GRACE - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2vGBY7nXx8 Arn.

Only full body suits or a airtight room with filtered air supply protect against an attack. Modern nerve agents go through the skin. So why all this turmoil around the distribution of a useless tool? What comes next? Toyguns for the IDF?

Not knowing to whom to address this matter, I am taking the opportunity to write through ynet, who may be able to point me in the right direction. My family obtained their gas masks a few months ago, but we receive daily phone calls informing us that distribution has commenced, and not only daily - this morning I received two recorded messages within then minutes. I am sure this is costing the Ministry of Defense a large sum of money and yet there are complaints that there is a shortage of finances. I am one of many who receive these numerous recorded phone messages. Your comments would be appreciated.
