Israel
Hatzolah in Israel exists as two different organizations: Hatzolah Israel and Ichud Hatzolah (rendered in English as United Hatzalah). Hatzolah Israel was the original organization and Ichud Hatzolah was formed in 2006, mostly with chapters that had been part of Hatzolah Israel.
Each of the organizations has many local chapters, close to 1,000 volunteers apiece, and provides coordinated response for larger emergencies or extra coverage across multiple localities.
- Beit Shemesh
- Har Nof (unaffiliated, named HaChovesh instead of Hatzolah)
- Gush Dan (out of Bnei Brak; unaffiliated)
