An Israeli television channel reported Thursday that the government'sHealth Ministry convened an emergency session with hospital directors and major health funds to assess readinessfor a possible escalation with Iran.
According toi24 News, senior ministry officials attended the meeting and instructed hospital administrators to detail their level of preparedness in the event of a direct confrontation with Tehran. The extra caution also stems back to the June war with Iran, where hundreds of Iranian ballistic missiles and drones inflicted significant damage on Israeli cities and bases.
Iran has warned that if it gets attacked again, itwill consider both the United States and Israel to be aggressors, since the two allies work in concert to undermine the Islamic Republic.
One major hospital, for example, already suffered damage during the 12-day June conflict, and wants to take no chances amid reports of loomingnew war:
Soroka Medical Center has begun preparing for conflict with Iran, with hospital management and emergency teams updating procedures, checking readiness, andrunning simulations for wartime scenarios.
The hospital was hit by a ballistic missile in June of 2025, sustaining severe damage to its infrastructure. Since then, Soroka Center has been working on recovery and is now forced to prepare for another military campaign.
The medical center is already simulating emergency situations, and in recent days, procedures have been refined and guidelines updated for transferring patients in case of another emergency.
Israeli media further says that top level dialogue over preparedness reportedly centered on defensive protocols, infrastructure resilience, and the availability of critical medical equipment should the existing emergency framework shift into full wartime footing.
