An official document authored by the Ministry of Health reveals that Israel has spent NIS 32,487,415 (about $9,000,000) since the beginning of 2013 on the treatment of wounded Syrians seeking medical treatment in Israel.

The information was released as part of a report addressing the expenses of four northern hospitals in Tiberius, Tsfat, Nahariya and Kiryat Shmona, which have been treating Syrians wounded in the country’s civil war.

These numbers do not include the funds targeted by the Ministry of Defense and the IDF for this cause. The Syrians are usually treated at IDF field hospitals before being hospitalized in Israeli medical centers.
