The Nurses' Union announced on Monday that nurses throughout Israel will strike on Wednesday following an attack on a nurse at Shmuel HaRofeh Hospital in Be’er Yaakov. The nurse, 58, suffered moderate injuries.
"The nurses must be protected in their workplace," said the head of the Nurses' Union, Ilana Cohen. “We will shut down the entire system on Wednesday to say in the most obvious way: No more violence!”
