An Israeli army video explains how to use a gas mask at an army gas mask distribution center in Tel Aviv, Israel. Air raid sirens have sounded across Israel as part of a massive air raid drill. Citizens rushed to air raid shelters Wednesday in the public part of the four-day-long drill. Israel is practicing its response to a widespread rocket attack all over the country.

How to don a gas mask

A unique way to illustrate this story, also it reminded me the installation art by the late Korean-American artist, Nam June Paik. Lots of great images from this week’s The Week in Pictures, click here to see them all.

Yes, as a matter of fact, we do call it art.

    WOW!

    The simplistic setup makes the image on the TV that much more creepy.

    It reminds me of Big Brother in a way...

      It's better than watching Oprah.
