On the anniversary of the “Iron Swords” war, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, IDF Spokesperson, visited Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital to recognize and express gratitude for the exceptional dedication of Hadassah Medical Organization’s teams in treating war casualties. Meeting with Prof. Yoram Weiss, Director General of the organization, Rear Admiral Hagari acknowledged the crucial work undertaken by Hadassah’s staff, including the advanced surgical and rehabilitative care provided to soldiers injured in recent conflicts.

Since October 7, Hadassah has seen a significant influx of casualties from combat zones in both the south and north of Israel, with patients undergoing complex, life-saving procedures and receiving extensive rehabilitative support.
