Jerusalem, 1 March, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Since the beginning of the war with Iran, 456 people have been evacuated to hospitals as of 8:00 A.M., Israel’s Health Ministry said.

Of those, 86 remain hospitalized, including patients in intensive care. One person is listed in serious condition not directly related to a missile strike, 19 are in moderate condition, 92 are lightly injured, three are suffering from anxiety, and one is undergoing medical evaluation.

A woman in her 40s was killed in Tel Aviv on Saturday night when a missile struck her residential block.

The ministry urged residents living near senior citizens to assist them in identifying the safest nearby protected area, practicing access routes and, when possible, reaching shelters early to reduce the risk of injury.
