ALBAWABA - At least 3,369 people have been injured in missile and drone attacks from Iran since the start of the war, Israel's Health Ministry announced in a statement on Monday.

The ministry revealed that in the past 24 hours, 142 people were hospitalized after Iranian attacks, including five in serious condition.

The ministry further mentioned that 81 Israelis are still in hospitals, including seven in serious condition.

Nonetheless, since Feb. 28, Israel's Institute for National Security Studies at Tel Aviv University said that 14 people have been killed.

The United States and Israel have launched joint attacks on Iran since Feb. 28, killing so far approximately 1,300 people, including Iran's then-Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

Tehran has retaliated with drone and missile attacks targeting Israel, and "US military assets" in the region.
