The Health Ministry reports that in the past 24 hours, 177 injured people have been taken to hospitals as a result of the conflict with Iran.

Among those treated in hospitals, one is in critical condition, two are in moderate condition, and 167 are in good condition.

One person has been treated for anxiety.

The ministry does not give a breakdown of the causes of injuries, and some might be sustained by people trying to reach shelter rather than as a direct result of missile fire from Iran or rocket fire from Lebanon.

The ministry also says that since the beginning of the war with Iran on February 28, 3,924 people have been admitted to hospitals, 74 of whom are currently hospitalized.
