The Philippine Embassy in Israel has mobilized a rapid response team to assist three Filipino nationals who were injured when a missile struck their residence in the early hours of Sunday.
The victims include a 43-year-old woman who underwent emergency surgery and a 44-year-old man with arm and leg injuries. Both are currently confined at Kaplan Medical Center in Rehovot. The Embassy is working with hospital staff and local authorities to support the victims' recovery, including arrangements for post-hospital care, shelter, and financial assistance.
A third Filipina remains in critical condition at Shamir Medical Center’s Intensive Care Unit. She sustained life-threatening injuries to her heart and lungs and is under close observation. Medical personnel continue to provide intensive care, though her condition remains grave.
“We are doing everything within our means to reach and assist our nationals affected by this crisis,” said Ambassador Aileen Mendiola, who called on the Filipino community to offer prayers for the victims, especially the caregiver currently fighting for her life.
The Embassy’s response team, composed of Consul Patricia Narajos, Vice Consul Teri Bautista — a licensed ICU nurse — and Attaché Josah Agan, is closely coordinating with both Israeli authorities and Philippine agencies to ensure continued support for those affected.
The Embassy reaffirmed its commitment to aid all Filipinos impacted by the conflict, as it monitors the situation and maintains contact with community leaders across Israel.
