Former Israel President Shimon Peres is back in the hospital, just two weeks after suffering a mils heart attack.

Paramedics were summoned to his home, after he complained of chest pains.

After evaluating him, a decision was made to transport the 92-year-old former President to the hospital.

“His doctors decided that the ninth president will spend the night in the hospital for observation and a series of tests,” a statement says.

As YWN reported, former President Shimon Peres was released from Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer Hospital in Tel Aviv on Tuesday, 9 Shevat. Mr. Peres was rushed to the hospital last week after his private physician determined he may be suffering a heart attack.

The president did indeed suffer a minor cardiac incident and was immediately taken for a cardiac catheterization after it was determined one of his cardiac arteries was blocked. Following the procedure doctors announced the 92-year-old Nobel Prize laureate was in excellent physical condition but was required to remain in the hospital for a number of days for observation.
