Israel raises the number of wounded to more than 4,700 since the start of the offensive against Iran

The Israeli Ministry of Health confirmed this Monday that 4,713 injuries have been recorded in the country since the start of the war in Iran, of which 123 remain hospitalized.

According to the official balance, almost 5,000 people in Israel have required hospital care as a result of the Iranian attacks in retaliation for the offensive launched jointly with the United States on February 28.

Of the total, 123 remain hospitalized, of which 15 are seriously injured and 27 are slightly injured, while the rest suffer very minor injuries.

This balance comes when Israel has experienced the worst day of Iranian bombings, after Tehran and the Lebanese Hezbollah militias have accelerated their projectile launching operation, leaving at least one dead and 303 injured, eight of them seriously. Of the injured, 153 were evacuated to hospitals, the ministry detailed.

The escalation began late Sunday afternoon, in direct retaliation by Iran after a US attack on the uranium enrichment center in the Iranian town of Natanz. As night fell, the Islamic Republic responded with a large-scale attack on Dimona, the location of Israel’s main nuclear facilities, and the southern Israeli city of Arad.
