Given Soroka Medical Center's strategic location in the Negev region, it was the primary hospital that treated casualties during Operation Cast Lead. During the Operation, President Shimon Peres visited the hospital to see the injured soldiers.
In September 2011, during a barrage of missiles from the Gaza Strip, Soroka also treated the casualties. Jon Voight visited patients at Soroka during this time to show his solidarity with Israel.
