Towards the next war: This is the dramatic decision made by the Home Front Command

Six months after Operation 'Am Kalavi': Home Front Command is preparing for a significant change in the standards for building military barracks in Israel.

According to a report by Doron Kadosh, in the coming months the Home Front Command is expected to publish an updated standard for building anti-aircraft missile units, derived directly from the lessons learned from the missile strikes from Iran and from the tests carried out at the crash sites.

The conclusions gathered during the campaign led to the understanding that structural adjustments are needed that will increase the level of protection for civilians.

Among the changes:

1. The doors of the MMD will be required to clearly indicate whether the door is locked or not - with a red/green marking. This is a lesson from incidents in which civilians tried to lock the doors of the MMD, but the door was not locked all the way - and flew off from the force of the missile thrust. Therefore, there must be an explicit marking of whether the door is locked.
2. The new standard will allow the interior walls of the MMAD to be thickened. Investigations of the sites of missile strikes from Iran revealed that when a missile hits a building, the interior wall behaves like an exterior wall, and therefore it is necessary to thicken them as well.
3. As one of the lessons of the Hamas attack on the Gaza Envelope on October 7, it became clear that a standard was needed that would make the MMAD door immune to small arms fire. The MMAD doors currently are not immune to such fire, and many civilians have been injured by fire through the door - therefore the new standard will allow both an immune door, and also to mount a standard on the existing door that would make it immune.
