Salman Zarka

Salman Zarka (Arabic: سلمان الزرقا, Hebrew: סלמאן זרקא) is an Israeli physician and the current Director of Ziv Medical Center in Safed.

[citation needed] At the time of the IDF Operation Protective Edge, during which he served as Commander of the IDF Center for Medical Services, Zarka managed the provision of medical services to the soldiers in the operation area, treatment of hospitalized soldiers and the establishment of military hospital in the Erez Crossing intended to provide assistance for the Gaza Strip citizens.

The lawsuit alleged that the Civil Service Commissioner was not authorized[4] to approve the late tender application submitted by Zarka following his participation in Operation Protective Edge.

The lawsuit was discussed at the Labour Court, where it was decided to hold a repeated tender, in which Zarka again won the position of Director of Ziv Medical Center.

Under the initiative Operation Good Neighbor, 20% of wounded Syrians brought to Israel for treatment were treated in Ziv Medical Center as of July 2017.
