Another soldier arrived about an hour ago, Baruch Hashem with only light injuries. He returned to his base after the operation, but he began feeling something was wrong. He has a light skull fracture and was admitted, bringing the number of soldiers in that facility to three. Another is listed in light condition and one moderate.
BARZILAI HOSPITAL
Three civilians arrived in the Ashkelon Hospital, one Moroccan, one Greek, and the third an American. All appear in light condition with blunt trauma and soft tissue injuries. The American spoke with the media stating “I have bruises on my body but they will not let me show them to you”. An Israeli nearby shouted at him “Did you hit the soldiers?” to which he did not respond. They were taken away in a police car following treatment, most likely to the Beersheva Prison.
