MANILA, Philippines — A male Filipino worker sustained a leg injury during a missile impact -- from Iran's attack -- in Arad town, was treated at the Sorokoa Medical Center and was expected to be discharged on Tuesday, the Philippine Embassy in Israel said.
The embassy's rapid reaction team visited the unidentified 30-year-old worker on March 22, 2026, a day after the attack, to check on his condition and provide emergency assistance.
The team also visited other Filipinos in Arad and Dimona, whose apartments sustained minor damage, to check on their wellbeing and distribute food packages, the embassy said.
They are temporarily staying with fellow Filipinos, while some are being accommodated in a hotel near the Dead Sea.
The embassy on Facebook said it "continues to monitor the recovery of the injured Filipino and the wellbeing of affected kababayan, and will provide psychosocial and mental health support services in the coming days."
The BBC reported that about 180 people were injured - some seriously - in Iranian missile strikes on two southern Israeli towns close to a nuclear facility.
Israel's health ministry said 116 people were injured in Arad and another 64 in Dimona, after ballistic missiles hit the towns on Saturday evening.
Iranian state TV said the strikes were in response to an attack on Iran's Natanz nuclear facility on Saturday.
