(Ynet News) Yuval Haninovitch - Barzilai Hospital in Ashkelon has been under fire from Hamas rockets. On Wednesday, one hit the childcare clinic. There were no children there because most of the hospital was moved underground. It was the second time that the hospital, which has never stopped operating and treating the mass casualty influx, took a direct hit. Since October 7th, 685 wounded were treated, 100 hospitalized with serious injuries, and by the end of last week, 25 remained. Hospital director Dr. Hezy Levy said: "The injuries we've seen were severe - gunshots from close range, requiring emergency surgery." Professor Ronen Debi, head of the orthopedic ER, said, "for 24 hours we tried to save the limbs of hundreds of people."
