Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu will undergo surgery tonight under full anesthesia. Netanyahu underwent surgery for an umbilical hernia in August 2013, but it is not known which surgery it is now.
In the summer Netanyahu went to Sheba Hospital twice after feeling unwell. The second time he came to the hospital, it was decided to implant a pacemaker. A diaphragmatic hernia is indeed called a hernia, but causes other functional problems, such as burning pains in the stomach, feeling of acidity in the mouth.
