Ziv Medical Center in Safed says that 21 wounded Syrians, with varying degrees of injury, have been treated at the hospital since Thursday, including two women in advanced stages of pregnancy and an 8-year-old girl with a head injury.

Six patients have since been discharged and returned to Syria after receiving treatment, and 15 patients remain hospitalized.

The hospital says that 12 of the wounded are men with gunshot and shrapnel injuries to various parts of their bodies. They are in stable condition and are being hospitalized in the surgical and orthopedic departments.

At the Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya, a 37-year-old Druze man from a village in Syria was brought in on Friday night in moderate condition, after being injured during an attempt to escape violence by jumping from a height of 12 meters.

The injured man is being hospitalized in the Spinal Surgery Unit and is expected to undergo spinal surgery in the coming hours.
