The Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya has announced that Thursday the outpatient clinics will be closed until 16:00 and that only urgent surgeries will be performed during those hours, due to a "war exercise" designed to "raise the level of preparedness and readiness of the medical center and its staff in dealing with emergency situations which may include a large number of wounded of varying degrees in unusual scenarios."
Visitors are being asked not to arrive at the Medical Center until 16:00 on Thursday.
