The Health Ministry announces it has begun evacuating patients from Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba to other hospitals across the country, after Soroka was struck by an Iranian ballistic missile this morning.
Magen David Adom is transferring patients to Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon, Assuta Beersheba, Assuta Ashdod, Sheba Medical Center in Ramat Gan, Ichilov Medical Center in Tel Aviv, Hadassah Ein Kerem in Jerusalem, and Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikvah.
Rehabilitation patients will be transferred to the Adi Negev Center.
The ministry reminds the public to come to hospitals only in cases of medical emergencies and to avoid the Soroka emergency room.
