Two Syrian men and one teenager were rushed to Israeli hospitals Friday, after sustaining injuries from fighting between President Bashar Assad’s forces and rebels.
The two men were treated at the Western Galilee hospital in the northern Israeli city of Nahariya.
The two required emergency care, with one man suffering from serious injuries and the second in moderate condition, according to Israel Radio.
A 17-year-old boy was rushed to the Ziv Medical Center in Safed. He suffered from gunshot wounds, as well as a fractured hip.
It was not immediately clear how the three Syrians were injured or whether they had themselves taken part in the fighting.
