Psychiatrist stabbed in Beer Sheva clinic; staff strike for security

A psychiatrist at a mental health clinic in Beer Sheva was attacked by a mentally disturbed patient, sustaining head injuries and attempted strangulation. The attacker was arrested, and clinic staff declared a strike demanding a permanent security guard, citing frequent panic button activations. This highlights systemic security gaps in Israeli healthcare facilities, though it is an isolated incident with no broader geopolitical implications.
