This came on the ninth day of the war between the Israeli-American alliance and Iran, which began on February 28, and has since almost escalated into a comprehensive regional war in West Asia.
An Indian man was seriously injured after shrapnel from an Iranian missile hit him in the neck. He underwent surgery at Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv and his condition is now stable.
A hospital spokesperson told news agency PTI: “He arrived yesterday in a critical condition due to a neck injury. Ichilov’s medical team fought to save his life, and he underwent a long surgery. Fortunately, his condition is now stabilizing.”
The officials cited in the report said that the Indian embassy in Tel Aviv “is monitoring the situation and visited the hospital to check on his health.”
The officials explained that the embassy is also in touch with Indian nationals in Israel regularly amid the ongoing hostilities in the region.
So far, at least 11 people have been killed in Israel due to Iranian missile attacks, with Iran not stopping its missile launches even though Tel Aviv claimed that its forces had destroyed most of Iran’s missile launchers.
