Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu to undergo surgery for hernia

The prime minister will be fully sedated after his doctors discovered the hernia ‘during a routine examination’

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will undergo surgery on Sunday for a hernia, his office said, at a time when he is waging a war against Hamas in Gaza, and less than a year after he was fitted with a pacemaker.

Justice Minister Yariv Levin will be standing in for Netanyahu during the operation, the statement said. It was Israel’s deadliest single day and the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust. Israel then launched an air, sea and ground offensive in Gaza, with the declared aim of ending Hamas’ rule there and dismantling its military capabilities.
