Assaf Harofeh Hospital

Assaf Harofeh Hospital, a major medical facility in Israel, was targeted by a **suspected Iranian cyberattack** during Yom Kippur. The attack disrupted several of the hospital’s **critical systems**, including its **electronic medical records (EMR) platform**, causing temporary operational disruptions. While the systems were **briefly taken offline**, they were later restored, preventing prolonged downtime. The incident highlights the vulnerability of healthcare infrastructure to **state-sponsored cyber threats**, particularly during high-alert periods. Although no immediate reports confirmed data theft, patient care risks or delays in medical services (e.g., surgeries, diagnostics) could have occurred due to the EMR outage. The attack underscores the escalating cyber warfare tactics targeting **healthcare institutions**, where disruptions can directly **endanger patient safety** and erode public trust in essential services. Authorities attributed the attack to Iranian actors, aligning with broader geopolitical cyber conflicts in the region.
