Root Cause

Israel does not use 911. Dial 100 for police, 101 for ambulance (Magen David Adom), and 102 for fire. 112 from a mobile also routes to emergency services. All are free.

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

Dial 911 in Israel expecting to reach emergency services 95% fail
911 is not the emergency number in Israel. Police is 100, ambulance (Magen David Adom) is 101, and fire is 102. A 911 call does not connect to local police, fire, or ambulance.
Dial 100 (police) for a medical emergency 50% fail
101 (Magen David Adom) dispatches ambulances; 100 is police. Calling the wrong line delays medical help.
