Israeli-Affiliated Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Reportedly Treating Iranian IRGC Fighters
A Moscow-based branch of Israel's Hadassah Medical Center is allegedly providing medical care to injured members of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), including personnel from Iranian nuclear facilities, according to a source familiar with the situation. These fighters were reportedly wounded in recent airstrikes conducted by Israel and the United States. The source claims that at least eight IRGC members, among them two senior commanders, are currently being treated at Hadassah Medical Moscow. Additional patients from Iran are expected to arrive following the resumption of direct flights between Tehran and Moscow. Scrutiny and harsh criticism The revelations have intensified scrutiny of Hadassah Medical Moscow, which was established in 2018 with a $15 million investment and operates in partnership with Russian authorities and the state-owned nuclear agency, Rosatom. While Hadassah is one of Israel's most respected healthcare institutions—serving over a million patients annually—the Moscow branch's patient roster has drawn criticism within Israel. In 2023, reports emerged that the clinic had treated injured members of Hamas and Hezbollah, including a close associate of Hamas military chief Mohammed Deif, prompting backlash from Israeli lawmakers. Some called for the closure of the Moscow facility, condemning its activities as a betrayal of Israeli and Western values. Despite the controversy, the clinic's operations have expanded. Since October 2024, over 40 Israeli doctors have reportedly been sent to support the Moscow branch. Unconfirmed reports suggest Rosatom has taken a financial stake in the clinic, possibly explaining why Iranian nuclear personnel have also received treatment there. Hadassah Medical Moscow has also allegedly provided medical services to exiled Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his wife Asma. A separate team of Israeli oncologists is said to have performed examinations at their hotel in Moscow, although these doctors were not directly affiliated with the clinic. More covert dealings There are also unverified claims that the same medical team consulted with senior Turkish embassy officials in Moscow. The clinic's readiness to treat figures aligned with groups hostile to Israel has drawn ridicule across parts of the Arab world. Some regional commentators suggest this practice reflects a consistent policy by both the clinic and its Russian backers. According to Iranian media, more than 600 people were killed and over 3,000 wounded during a 12-day Israeli campaign targeting Iranian sites earlier this month.

Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters
SeeNews Moscow branch of Israel's Hadassah Medical Center, affiliated with Russian authorities and state-owned nuclear corporation Rosatom, is treating members of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) injured in Israeli and US airstrikes, as well as personnel of one of Iran's nuclear facilities, according to a source familiar with the matter. At least eight IRGC personnel, including two senior commanders, are currently receiving medical treatment at Hadassah Medical Moscow, the source said. Additional patients are expected to arrive from Iran following the recent resumption of direct flights between Tehran and Moscow. The revelations add to mounting scrutiny of the Russian outpost of Israeli Hadassah Medical Organization that operates two major hospitals and several medical schools in Israel. Widely regarded as one of the country's premier healthcare providers, Hadassah serves more than a million patients annually and employs over 5,000 medical professionals. Hadassah launched its Moscow facility – Hadassah Medical Moscow - in 2018 with a $15 million investment, promoting it as a hub for advanced care under Israeli medical oversight. Since then, however, the clinic's patient roster has drawn criticism from lawmakers and media in Israel. Last year, media reported that the clinic treated wounded members of Hamas and Hezbollah, despite restrictions imposed by Israel's Ministry of Health. Revelations emerged that a close confidant of Hamas military chief Mohammed Deif received intensive care at Hadassah Medical Moscow facility after being injured in clashes with Israeli forces. These reports sparked calls from Israeli lawmakers to shut down the Moscow branch, with some officials describing its ongoing operations in Russia as a 'betrayal of Israeli-Western values.' Despite the controversy, the clinic has expanded its activities. Over 40 doctors from Israel have been dispatched to Moscow since October 2024 to support its growing operations. According to unconfirmed reports, Russia's nuclear corporation Rosatom has acquired a stake in Hadassah Medical Moscow (which explains the treatment of specialists from Iranian nuclear facilities at this clinic). Hadassah Medical Moscow also reportedly provided a full medical examination to exiled Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his wife Asma. A team of Israeli oncologists — not affiliated with the Moscow branch — allegedly traveled to their hotel in Moscow with medical equipment and performed the procedures on-site. Across parts of the Middle East, the clinic's willingness to treat patients opposing Israel has drawn ridicule from Arabs. Some observers characterize the treatment of Israel's adversaries at Hadassah Medical Moscow as a consistent policy of the clinic and Rosatom. More than 600 people were reportedly killed and over 3,000 wounded in Israeli strikes on Iran during the 12-day conflict earlier this month, according to Iranian media. Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem has not publicly commented on the Moscow branch's activities. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean
