At least 108 people wounded in Israel in two days of rocket fire 



At least 108 people were hospitalized in Israel over the past two days for wounds and shock caused by the massive rocket bombardment of Israeli towns by Gazan terror groups.
Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon said Tuesday it has treated 93 people who were hurt in the rocket fire, including two who were moderately wounded, 46 who were lightly wounded, and 44 who were treated for shock.
A woman who arrived yesterday in serious condition was transferred from Barzilai to Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer, near Tel Aviv, for intensive treatment.

Those figures do not include 48-year-old Mahmoud Abu Asabeh, a Palestinian man from the West Bank town of Halhoul, near Hebron, who was killed in Ashkelon when a rocket from Gaza struck an apartment building in the city late Monday.


Another woman was seriously injured in the building. The woman, also Palestinian, was in moderate condition at Barzilai.
Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba said Tuesday it had treated 15 people since fighting escalated on Monday, nine of them with physical wounds and six with anxiety and shock.
One of the people treated at the hospital was the officer wounded during the IDF operation inside Gaza Sunday night that sparked the latest round of violence. According to hospital officials, the officer’s condition was initially listed as serious, but stabilized following lifesaving surgery. He is now listed in moderate condition.
