According to a report by the Mako website, hospitals in northern Israel are currently undergoing a process of redistributing patients who require intensive care, including those connected to ventilators. The article highlights that this is being done in preparation for a possible war with Hezbollah.
The Keshet TV channel reports that patients in the intensive care units of hospitals in northern Israel have been transferred to hospitals in the center of the country. This is due to the relatively small size of Ziv, Poriya, and HaGalil hospitals and is aimed at relieving them if there is an escalation of the conflict with Hezbollah.
According to sources, patients have been transferred to Sheba hospital in Tel Hashomer, Ichilov in Tel Aviv, and Rambam in Haifa. The Ministry of Health has confirmed that this step is related to preparing the health care system and hospitals for a possible deterioration in the security situation in northern Israel.
