Directors of two northern hospitals say they are on heightened alert for a breakout of war in the north.
Galilee Medical Center director Prof. Masad Barhoum, and Ziv Hospital director Prof. Salman Zarka say their hospitals have accumulated enough supplies to operate as “separate islands” for several days, according to Hebrew media reports.
Zarka has asked employees to prepare to arrive quickly at the hospital, bringing essential personal items for an extended stay.
“The level of readiness required from us has been high for almost nine months, but now it seems we will need to elevate it further,” Barhoum says.
The moves come as tensions rise between Israel and the Hezbollah terror group in Lebanon.
