Last Wednesday, Hillel Yaffe Hospital in Hadera was attacked by a heretical cyber attack.

The hospital said at the time that it was an incident "without prior notice, which affected the hospital's computer systems."

It was also reported from the medical center that the hospital was run in alternative systems for the treatment of patients, and that the medical treatment took place on an ongoing basis with the exception of non-urgent elective activity.

After the incident, the Ministry of Health stated that "the case was reported to the Ministry of Health and we are working with the hospital to return the entire activity to a full routine."

Later, the Niado Hospital in Netanya, in coordination with MDA and Hillel Yaffe, announced that it was prepared to accept patients whose treatment would not be possible following the cyber attack.
