Medical centers around Israel report that they have begun moving patients back to aboveground areas after the 12-day conflict with Iran ended yesterday.

Rambam Medical Center in Haifa says the first to leave the protected underground hospital, which normally serves as a parking lot, were women who gave birth underground.

“No less than 800 patients will return to regular wards,” the hospital spokesperson says.

At Ichilov Medical Center, the at-risk newborn unit was moved back to its regular floor.

Also, Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya and Beilinson Medical Center in Petah Tikvah say they have moved patients from their protected underground facilities.
