President Isaac Herzog visits patients injured in the recent Iranian missile attacks at the underground hospital at Sheba Medical Center in Ramat Gan.

Since the start of the operation, around 200 wounded individuals of varying severity have arrived at the medical center, which is treating patients underground to protect them from incoming missile barrages, according to a statement from Herzog’s office.

Herzog and his wife, Michal, meet with the patients and listen to their accounts of injuries and experiences, the statement reads.

The president “expressed deep appreciation for the medical teams, praising their outstanding dedication and professionalism during this period,” Herzog’s office adds.
