Since the outbreak of war with Iran in June 2025, Herzog Medical Center has mobilized to meet Israel’s urgent medical and mental health needs. Our Sheltered Underground Hospital is fully operational, ensuring the safety of hundreds of vulnerable patients, including ventilated children and adults.

Below are real-time updates detailing Herzog’s emergency response efforts—on the ground and underground.
