The Ziv hospital in northern Israel is currently on high alert as tensions rise in the region. Non-urgent operations have been put on hold, and staff members have been asked to consider donating blood if needed. In a proactive measure, all patients, including newborns in the maternity unit, have been relocated underground.
The hospital's director, Salman Zarka, expressed the hospital's readiness for potential casualties in the event of Israel sending more troops to southern Lebanon. Ziv Medical Center, located near Israel's borders with Lebanon, Syria, and the occupied Golan Heights, is the primary healthcare facility in the area.
