Israel's Bituach Leumi to compensate wounded in Hamas war

The National Insurance Institute (Bituach Leumi) will send thousands of shekels to Israelis affected by the war immediately, it announced on Sunday.

All civilians injured and hospitalized in hospitals across the country will receive an initial NIS 5,000 payment, with additional payments potentially reaching more than NIS 10,000 on a case-by-case basis.

The institute added that those suffering from anxiety are entitled to 12 meetings of government-funded therapy with a qualified professional.
