Babies in the nursery at Assuta Hospital in Ashdod are dressed in special outfits in celebration of Israel’s 75th Independence Day.
Their tiny blue and white caps and onesies are adorned with Israeli flags, hearts, and firework designs.
The hospital released photos of the babies along with a statement reminding Israelis of the importance of remaining united for the sake of today’s children and future generations.
“Especially in such a challenging year full of disagreement within Israeli society, this is an important reminder that despite everything, we are one nation with a common past and a joint future. Our flag symbolizes our inseverable connection to this land and our responsibility to stay united,” the hospital says.
