A nurse was in moderate but stable condition after being stabbed by a patient at the Shmuel Ha’Rofe Hospital in the central Israel town of Beer Yaakov on Monday evening.
“We must put an end to violence in the health system,” Cohen said. “We will shut down the entire system on Wednesday to say clearly — enough violence!”

The Ministry of Health strongly condemned the attack and ordered security increased at health institutions.
“We are committed to the safety and security of treatment staff, and we will work with the police and the Public Security Ministry to ensure that such cases do not recur,” said Deputy Health Minister Yaakov Litzman.
The attack came the day after a woman was given a sentence of five months of community service for assaulting hospital security staff and others during a September incident.
