The Health Ministry reports that in the past 24 hours, 70 people have been hospitalized with injuries as a result of the conflict with Iran and Hezbollah.
Among those treated in hospitals, four are in moderate condition and 146 are in good condition.
Nine people have been treated for anxiety.
The ministry does not give a breakdown of the causes of injuries, and some might have been 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, 3,530 people have been admitted to hospitals, 86 of whom are currently hospitalized. Among those hospitalized, eight people are in serious condition, 16 people are in moderate condition, and 60 are in good condition.
The ministry’s figures include both civilians and soldiers.
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.
