The Mossad purchased 10 million protective medical masks to help deal with the coronavirus more than a week ago under the leadership of Director Yossi Cohen, The Jerusalem Post has learned.
Due to the sensitivity of the information, the Post could not report the announcement until Monday when they arrived in Israel, but did note in a report on Friday that eye-popping new acquisitions were on the way.
In addition to the 10 million medical masks, the Mossad brought a few dozen ventilators, tens of thousands more test kits, around 25,000 N95 surgical masks that are designed to protect the wearer from airborne particles and from liquid, and is expected to bring even more medical equipment to the country. Cohen is heading up a special command center along with other national security units and the Health Ministry.
Last Tuesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Cohen was taking over the country’s efforts to purchase medical equipment from abroad.
Cohen succeeded in bringing to Israel 100,000 test kits to the country two weeks ago, with an estimated 4 million on the way.
The Jerusalem Post learned at the time that the kits were obtained from countries with which Israel does not have diplomatic relations. A report by Al Jazeera said the countries were in the Persian Gulf, which could be one reason why the Mossad took the lead.
