Hospitals across Israel have transitioned to "Shabbat mode" operations in observance of Yom Kippur, the holiest day in Judaism. This operational shift involves reduced staffing levels, with skeleton crews on standby to provide essential healthcare services.
In the event of emergencies, additional medical teams will be called in to bolster the existing staff and ensure adequate response capacity. This measure is standard practice for major Jewish holidays and the Sabbath to balance religious observance with the continuity of critical medical care.
