RAMAT GAN, Israel – Almost a year into Israel’s war against Hamas, the conflict grows more intense with Hezbollah in the north. As missile attacks increase, hospitals are crucial and could become targets.
One medical center near Tel Aviv has gone underground with a unique solution to help keep them safe and operational.
Sheba Medical Center has been a key part of the war effort since the Hamas invasion.
Steve Walz, the center’s global media director, told CBN News, “We’ve treated well over 1600 soldiers and civilians, mostly soldiers. And I can say that the challenge is there on a day-to-day basis still, because, there’s still, unfortunately, a war going on in Gaza.”
Walz says that in addition to the casualties of war, hospital personnel have been unusually busy this summer treating sick Israelis.
“So the hospital’s been challenged,” he explained. “The staff has been challenged. People try and escape for a few days. The staff tries to escape for a few days just to reboot and come back to ourselves because not only is the war not over, we don’t know what’s going to be going forward.”
