How does Israel protect citizens?

Israel maintains a robust defence system, including mandatory military service for most citizens, to protect against various threats. Border communities like Neot Mordechai often have enhanced security measures and civil defence protocols due to their proximity to volatile areas. However, incidents involving unexploded ordnance, as seen here, highlight challenges that even advanced security systems cannot always prevent, especially from historical remnants.
