Conflict has plagued human history since time immemorial, and yet, in 2025, most people in Western nations have never lived under the cloud of war. Few living today remember the 1940 Battle of Britain and the haunting sounds of air raid sirens. The horrific genocides in Rwanda (1994) or Darfur (2003–2005) occurred in recent history, yet those atrocities seemed distant from most of us. The devastating terror attacks of September 11, 2001, and the collapse of the Twin Towers in New York City unnerved the world—certainly the West—awakening many to the very real presence of unbridled evil. Then, when Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, columns of tanks and bombed cities became common images on all news platforms.

As rocket sirens screamed across Israel on October 7, 2023, the
urgent wail of ambulance sirens joined the cacophony in the south. Dozens of emergency vehicles belonging to Magen David Adom (MDA), Israel’s national ambulance and emergency medical services, responded to the flood of calls from civilians facing Hamas terrorists.
