ISTANBUL

Israel's Health Ministry said on Tuesday that 6,131 wounded people have been transported to hospitals since the beginning of the war with Iran on Feb. 28, with 118 people still receiving treatments.

The ministry said on the US social media company X that one person is in critical condition, 17 are in serious condition, 27 are in moderate condition, 72 have minor injuries, and one is being treated for anxiety.

Regional escalation has continued since Israel and the US launched an offensive against Iran on Feb. 28, killing more than 1,340 people to date, including then-Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Tehran has retaliated with drone and missile strikes targeting Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf countries hosting US military assets, causing casualties and infrastructure damage while disrupting global markets and aviation.
