The Health Ministry says that it has ordered all hospitals in northern Israel to operate from within their fortified areas only.
The ministry says the order follows instructions from the IDF’s Home Front Command.
The order affects the Carmel, Ziv, Nahariya, HaEmek, Poriya, Bnei Tzion, Italian and English hospitals.
The Rambam Hospital is moving to work in the hospital’s fortified parking garage.
All elective procedures are canceled, the statement says.
