Officials now say 6 hospitalized after Hezbollah drone attack, including 2 suffering anxiety attacks
Officials are now saying at least six people have been hospitalized following the Hezbollah drone attack on northern Israel, including four who suffered shrapnel injuries and two who suffered acute anxiety attacks.
Prof. Masad Barhoum, director of the Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya, tells Channel 12 news that the hospital is treating six people, including the critically injured individual.
He says three others are lightly injured, while two are being treated for acute anxiety attacks.
Seven people have been hospitalized after a drone impacted Highway 4 near the town of Mazra’a in the Western Galilee.
One of the wounded, who arrived with shrapnel injuries, is in critical condition and is being treated at Galilee Medical Center, a hospital spokesperson says. Two of them weren’t hit by the drone of shrapnel, and are being treated for acute anxiety attacks.
Eyewitness Maor Amsallem tells The Times of Israel that he was driving north when he heard the sirens. He pulled to the side of the road and saw the drone about 7 meters (23 feet) above him explode and hit a car driving south.
“Glass shattered,” Amsallem says. “I heard endless screams. I saw people wounded. I never saw anything like that. I’m still shaking.”
“After the explosion, drivers got into accidents as they panicked,” says Khader Shakair of Netivei Israel’s Operations and Maintenance Division, who arrived soon after the explosion.
