Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal provides that the provisions of the Military Cemeteries Law will apply to firefighters who were killed in the line of duty, retroactively from the date the Fire and Rescue Authority was established. The proposal also amends the Yad LaBanim Houses Law to regulate the commemoration of the fallen of Israel's wars similarly to military fallen. The goal is to provide a response for firefighters who fell before the law was passed and to benefit from state burial and commemoration.
