Hospitals told to prepare to potentially treat freed captives; no concrete info
Our Hebrew sister-site Zman Yisrael reports that several hospitals have been instructed by the Health Ministry to open wards in which to potentially receive released Israeli hostages.
The hospitals are Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba, Sheba Medical Center in Ramat Gan, Wolfson Medical Center in Holon and Schneider Medical Center in Petah Tikva.
The report notes that the instruction is part of general preparations for the potential need to treat freed captives, and not the result of concrete information that such a release is imminent.
