Thus, the total number rose to 254 martyrs and 1,165 wounded.
Civil Defense personnel worked to carry out ambulance operations, evacuate the wounded, and transport the martyrs from the targeted sites, in addition to rescuing a number of citizens who were detained under the rubble, under extremely dangerous and complex field conditions.
