Israel reports 232 injuries in 24 hours amid ongoing war with Iran

Israeli authorities reported 232 injuries within 24 hours, including 80 in the past 12 hours, as the total number of wounded since the start of the war with Iran on 28 February rose to 6,088, according to the Israeli Ministry of Health.

In a statement issued on Monday evening, the ministry said that 6,088 injured people had been evacuated to hospitals since the beginning of the US led Israeli war on Iran, up from 6,008 reported earlier the same day. The figures indicate a sharp increase in casualties over a short period.

The ministry added that 110 people remain in hospital, including one in critical condition, 16 in serious condition, 24 in moderate condition, 69 with minor injuries and one case of acute panic.

While official Israeli sources have not released comprehensive fatality figures, estimates from the Israeli Institute for National Security Studies suggest that 24 people have been killed since the start of the war.

The figures could not be independently verified, as Israeli authorities maintain strict restrictions on reporting related to the impact of Iranian and Hezbollah strikes on the country.

The escalation comes amid a broader regional conflict following the US-Israeli aggression against Iran, which has resulted in at least 1,500 deaths, including hundreds of women and children, and more than 15,000 injuries, according to reported figures.

In response, Iran has launched missiles and drones towards Israeli-controlled areas, resulting in the killing of 13 US soldiers and the wounding of 303 others. Iran has also targeted what it describes as US bases and interests in Arab countries. However, several of these countries have reported that some of the attacks caused civilian casualties and damage to civilian infrastructure.

Meanwhile, Hezbollah, an ally of Iran, continues to launch missiles and drones at Israeli targets in response to the Israeli offensive against Lebanon that began on 2 March. The Israeli offensive on Lebanon has resulted in 1,247 deaths, 3,680 injuries and the displacement of more than one million people, further deepening the humanitarian crisis across the region.
