Netanyahu Undergoes Prostate Removal Surgery

The Times of Israel reports:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was awake and recovering after a successful prostate removal surgery at the Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem, his office said in a statement late Sunday evening, adding that the premier had been moved to an underground, fortified recovery ward.

“The surgery ended successfully without complications,” the Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement. “The prime minister has woken up, is in good condition and is completely conscious.”

He is expected to spend several days under observation in the fortified recovery ward, amid fears he could be targeted by rocket or missile fire during the ongoing war. The prime minister was under full anesthesia for the procedure.
