Israeli Hospitals Prepared for Imminent Attacks

In response to escalating tensions following the assassinations of key Hamas and Hezbollah leaders, Israel's national emergency medical services are on high alert, stocking blood supplies and preparing for potential retaliatory attacks from Iran and its proxies. A command center has been established, and over 1,000 emergency vehicles are on standby, while 10,000 units of blood are prepared for use in case of mass casualties. Meanwhile, the Rambam Medical Centre has readied its underground hospital, capable of accommodating over 2,000 patients, to respond swiftly if a major attack occurs. The Israeli Health Minister has emphasized the need for emergency preparedness across hospitals, which have been operating in a state of readiness since the Hamas attacks on October 7. Drills simulating missile strikes have been conducted, highlighting the healthcare system's focus on cyber defense and rapid response capabilities. As fears of an all-out war loom, neighboring countries have also taken precautionary measures, with international advisories for citizens to leave Lebanon.
