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.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
