"The home front will be the main front of the [next] war, whether it is missiles from Gaza, Lebanon, Syria or Iran," says Deputy Defense Minister Matan Vilna'i. Vilna'i is setting up a special security school to train mayors and regional and local council heads how to manage in the event of a war. In accordance with a plan drawn up by the National Emergency Administration (a newly created agency set up to coordinate the various emergency services), by the end of this year every municipality and council will have to have an approved emergency plan for their community during wartime.
