The Health Ministry says that 7,791 people have been admitted to hospitals due to the fighting with Iran and Hezbollah since the war began on February 28.

Of those admitted, 83 are currently hospitalized. One is in critical condition, 15 are in serious condition, 26 are in moderate condition, and 41 are in good condition. The casualty figures include soldiers and civilians.

The ministry does not give a breakdown of the causes of injuries. Some were indirect, such as people injured while trying to reach shelters, rather than being hurt as a direct result of missile fire.
