When sirens rang out last Saturday, staff at Jerusalem's second-largest hospital knew it's time to move.  
  
Downwards, into the parking garage. Out of reach of the missiles.

"In the middle of the night, they just suddenly rushed us all down here with military precision. Just like everyone."

Relocating hundreds of patients, along with critical medical equipment, in just a few hours is no small task.  
  
But hospital officials say they had no choice.  
  
Jerusalem has come under heavy fire since Israel launched its major attack with the US against Iran last week. Several Iranian ballistic missiles have pierced through Israel’s air defenses, killing multiple civilians.

"In Jerusalem, there are two main hospitals. So we have to service everyone who comes in. We will not close the doors. We take care of everyone that needs to be taken care of, and it's just a matter of making sure that we have the staff and equipment and the space."

US and Israeli defense officials are warning the conflict could stretch on for several weeks. Medical centers across Israel are bracing for more attacks - and injured people.

"We've just entered the intensive care unit of the hospital down here. There are around 70 patients right now and they're doing X-rays here. They're doing all kinds of treatments that they would normally do upstairs. So right now, this place is filled. But they have still capacity for new patients coming in, in case there are more casualties in the coming days."

Max Ferguson came here for surgery a week ago and is preparing to be discharged soon. He didn’t expect to be recovering undergound.

"When it first started with missiles, I was like, ok, I’m going to die, this is it. And now it’s, again, I don’t want to say I’m used to it, but to some degree."

During the 12-day war with Iran last June, a hospital in southern Israel was directly hit by an Iranian missile. But there were no casualties because the facility had already been evacuated. 

02:00
+++SOT David Katz, Doctor at Shaare Zedek Medical Center (English)+++  
"Where we are, it's a risk. It's a risk. It's not the first time. However, this is definitely dramatic and significant. This is not for a day or two. And we haven’t planned for a day or two. We're planning for a long period of time and more patients."  

02:16
Hospital officials have started preparing another level of the parking garage for a hundred  more patients. But they hope they won’t have to use it.
