Six children who were wounded in the rocket attack in the northern Druze town of Majdal Shams in the Golan Heights are in serious condition in three northern hospitals.

Ziv Medical Center says that two wounded children are in critical condition in the pediatric intensive care unit. Both are sedated and ventilated. Another child is in moderate condition. All have abdominal injuries, chest injuries, and limb fractures.

Five children aged 8-15 are in moderate condition in the pediatric ward,
mainly suffering from shrapnel injuries.

Another child is in moderate condition with shrapnel injuries, after abdominal surgery. His condition is stable.

The hospital has treated 39 wounded patients, including a 36-year-old man with shrapnel injuries to his ear and face, who is in mild condition.

There is a 12-year-old child in critical but stable condition at Tsafon Medical Center (Pouriya) near Tiberias.

Another child is in moderate condition and a third child is expected to be released soon.

A 22-year-old man is now in moderate condition and is expected to be released during the week.

Rambam Hospital in Haifa says that three children there are in critical condition after undergoing surgeries on Saturday night. They are sedated and ventilated. Another two children are in moderate condition. All are in the Ruth Rappaport Children’s Hospital.

Hezbollah’s Saturday’s attack on a soccer pitch killed 12 young people, aged 10-20.

It was the single deadliest Hezbollah attack on northern Israel since fighting there began in October.
