Netanyahu underwent a test at Hadassah Hospital on Wednesday, where he was "diagnosed with a urinary tract infection" which emerged from a benign prostate enlargement. The prime minister's office said in a statement that "as a result, the prime minister will undergo prostate removal surgery tomorrow.".
The procedure comes with Israel at war against Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip more than 14 months after the Palestinian militants carried out an unprecedented attack on Israel on October 7 last year. More to follow... For the latest news on this story keep checking back at The Sun Online.
