The Ziv Medical Center in Safed, where eight are being treated, said three are in serious condition, of whom two remain sedated and on ventilators. The hospital added that all three are suffering abdominal and chest injuries, and limb fractures.
One child is in moderate condition while four others are being treated for light wounds, mostly from shrapnel, mainly suffering from shrapnel injuries.
Haifa’s Rambam Medical Center said it is still treating five victims.
Three are listed in serious condition in the pediatric intensive care unit where they are sedated and on ventilators. Another two suffering from shrapnel injuries are in mild condition in the pediatric surgery unit.
Three children are hospitalized at the Northern Medical Center near Tiberias. One is listed in serious condition, one in moderate condition, and the third is expected to be discharged soon.
Saturday’s rocket attack killed 12 children, injured more than 40, and sent tensions soaring as the Iran-backed Hezbollah braces for an expected retaliation. Residents of Majdal Shams, a Druze village in the Golan Heights, called on the government to punish Hezbollah.
