00:15Air raid sirens echo across Israeli cities, residents rush to bomb shelters, and streaks
00:23of light from missiles and interceptors fill the night sky.
00:27As the war between Iran and Israel enters its second week, the human cost is slowly rising.
00:33According to official reports, 13 people have been killed in Israel since the conflict began,
00:39and in just the last 24 hours, 191 people have been hospitalized with injuries as missile
00:46attacks continue. But behind these numbers is a story of constant alerts, near misses,
00:53and a region on edge. The latest phase of the conflict began on February 28, when U.S. and
01:00Israeli forces launched strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, missile infrastructure,
01:05and military targets. Iran responded quickly. Within hours, waves of ballistic missiles and
01:12drones were launched toward Israel and U.S. interests in the region. Since then, multiple missile barrages
01:18have targeted Israeli cities, triggering frequent air raid sirens across the country. Israel's powerful
01:25multi-layered air defense network has been working around the clock. Systems like Iron Dome, David's
01:32Sling, and the long-range aero interceptors are designed to detect and destroy incoming missiles
01:38missiles before they reach populated areas. The worst attack so far occurred early in the conflict.
01:45On March 1, an Iranian ballistic missile struck a residential neighborhood in Beit Shemesh,
01:51near Jerusalem. The missile slammed directly into civilian structures, causing severe destruction.
01:58Emergency responders from Israel's Magin David Adam confirmed that at least nine civilians were killed in
02:05that single strike. Dozens more people were injured, with several suffering serious wounds. Additional deaths
02:12have occurred in separate missile incidents across central Israel. In the Tel Aviv area, two civilians,
02:18including a Filipina caregiver and an elderly Israeli woman, were killed following a missile strike or
02:25falling debris from intercepted missiles. Other scattered incidents involving shrapnel and direct impacts
02:31have added to the toll. Altogether, the confirmed number of people killed in Israel since the war began
02:38now stands at around 13. Israel's Ministry of Health says 191 people were hospitalized in the past 24 hours
02:48alone. That brings the total number of hospital admissions since the start of the war to more than 2300.
02:55Many of these injuries are caused by shrapnel, blast waves, falling debris from intercepted missiles,
03:01and even medical emergencies triggered by the stress and panic during air raid sirens. Overnight,
03:08Iranian media reported that two people were killed by missile fire near Tel Aviv. According to Iran's
03:15deputy health minister, more than 1200 people have been killed in Iran, with over 12,000 wounded,
03:22including civilians affected by strikes on infrastructure and residential areas. The conflict has also drawn in
03:29regional actors, including Hezbollah in Lebanon, and has impacted U.S. bases across the Gulf. The situation
03:37remains extremely tense. Sirens continue to sound across Israeli cities. Missiles continue to launch
03:44across the region. And with both sides vowing to continue fighting, the skies over the Middle East remain
03:52one of the most dangerous battlegrounds in the world.
03:57Good doctor.
