Merkhav Mugan

Merkhav Mugan (Hebrew: מרחב מוגן) (lit. protected space), also known as a "miklat" (Hebrew: מקלט, "shelter"), is a reinforced security room required in all new buildings by Israeli law. A Merkhav Mugan is deemed preferable to a bomb shelter when the warning time is too short for residents to reach a shelter, which may be located some distance away. It also offers protection against high impact projectiles and chemical weapons.
