MBS: Mobile Bomb Shelter

Help Us Provide Protection and Peace of Mind for Israeli Civilians

Welcome to the Mobile Bomb Shelter page by One Middle East Agency. As a ministry committed to serving the people of Israel, we are passionate about raising support for mobile bomb shelters to protect civilians during times of conflict. With the ongoing threats faced by communities in Israel, providing portable and reliable safety solutions is more critical than ever.

This page will guide you through the significance of mobile bomb shelters, their unique features, and how you can partner with us to make a life-saving impact.

Mobile Bomb Shelter:
A Vital Need in Israel

In Israel, conflict zones are an unfortunate reality, and many homes lack the infrastructure necessary to withstand direct strikes. The Mobile Bomb Shelter (MBS) is an innovative solution designed to provide safety quickly and effectively, even in areas without pre-existing infrastructure.

Do Houses in
Israel Have Bomb Shelters?

Most homes in Israel are required by law to have a fortified room called a “Mamad” (ממ”ד) or “protected space.” However, older homes or those in less urbanized areas often lack these safe zones. For civilians in vulnerable areas, mobile bomb shelters offer immediate, reliable protection and can be deployed to areas with the greatest need.

Features of the MBS:

Key Features and Benefits:

Rapid Deployment: MBS units can be easily transported via trucks, cranes, or tractors, requiring no permanent infrastructure or foundations. Making it easy to provide as many Mobile Bomb Shelters as we can get our hands on.
Versatility: Available in various sizes to suit residential homes, factories, hospitals, and critical infrastructure sites.
Customizable Options: Shelters can include upgrades such as air conditioning, communications systems, NBC filtration, and additional ballistic protection layers.
Cost-Effective: When not in use as a bomb shelter, MBS units can serve as storage spaces, mobile offices, or safe rooms.
Durable and Reliable: Built to withstand direct hits from rockets (e.g., Katyusha, Qassam) and mortar fire, as well as shrapnel, & blasts.

With your help, we can provide Mobile Bomb Shelters to civilians under attack from terrorism. Each Mobile Bomb Shelter can hold twenty people at a time! Thats 20 lives saved!

How Much Does It Cost to Put in a Bomb Shelter?

The cost of installing a permanent bomb shelter in Israel is high. One Mobile Bomb Shelter is $14,000. Each mobile bomb shelter can hold up to 20 people. Traditional bomb shelters often require significant groundwork, specialized materials, and permits, leading to high costs.

By supporting One Middle East Agency, you can help provide mobile bomb shelters to communities in need. Your donation goes directly toward purchasing and deploying these life-saving units where they are most needed.

What Is the Hebrew Word for Bomb Shelter?

In Hebrew, a bomb shelter is commonly referred to as a “Miklat” (מִקְלָט), meaning “shelter” or “refuge.” This word carries profound significance in Israeli culture, symbolizing safety and protection during times of uncertainty.

At One Middle East Agency, we aim to extend this sense of refuge to every vulnerable community by delivering mobile bomb shelters to those who need them most. Our work is grounded in the biblical call to “protect the widow, the orphan, and the stranger” (Psalm 82:3) and to provide practical aid in times of distress.
