At least 67 people have been evacuated to hospitals across Israel following the latest wave of Iranian missile attacks, according to a statement by Magen David Adom, the country’s national ambulance service. The casualties were recorded across four separate locations hit during the strikes, which also killed at least three people in central Israel earlier in the day.
Among the injured is a 30-year-old woman who remains in serious condition. Six others are reported to be in moderate condition, while the vast majority—60 individuals—sustained minor injuries. Emergency medical teams responded swiftly, dispatching ambulances and first responders to all affected areas amid fears of further attacks.
Medical Services Under Pressure as Missile Barrages Continue
With missile strikes targeting both central and northern Israel—including areas near Haifa’s port and power infrastructure—medical services are under mounting pressure. Hospitals in Tel Aviv, Petah Tikva, and Haifa have activated emergency protocols to treat the sudden influx of patients, many suffering from shrapnel wounds, burns, and trauma-related injuries.
Magen David Adom confirmed that mobile intensive care units were deployed, along with helicopters in some cases, to assist in rapid evacuations. The organization also warned that ongoing alerts and air raid sirens are making rescue operations increasingly dangerous.

Rising Civilian Toll Amplifies Fears of Regional War
The rising number of civilian casualties underscores the growing humanitarian risk as the Iran-Israel confrontation intensifies. What began as targeted military strikes has now escalated into a broader conflict directly impacting population centers.
Public shelters are now operating at full capacity in many cities, and the Israeli government has urged citizens to remain alert and stay indoors when sirens sound. Meanwhile, regional and global powers continue to issue calls for restraint, but both Iran and Israel appear resolute in continuing their respective offensives.
