3 Filipinos injured in Israel missile strike, one critical

Three Filipinos were injured and hospitalized in Israel after a missile strike, with one Filipina in critical condition and needing a major surgery.

Two other Filipinos sustained injuries, with one undergoing emergency surgery and the other having arm and leg injuries, though five minor injuries have since been treated and discharged.

The total number of Filipinos wounded in the missile strikes launched by Iran against Israel has risen to seven, with no reported Filipino fatalities.

The Israeli government is willing to shoulder all hospitalization fees and provide financial assistance and full medical support to the injured Filipinos, similar to how they support their own citizens.

The Philippine Embassy has mobilized a rapid response team to assist the injured Filipinos and is coordinating with Israeli authorities.

The Department of Migrant Workers is preparing repatriation options for Filipinos who wish to return to the Philippines, and contingency plans for possible evacuation from Iran.
