An Israeli hospital is treating people wounded in Syria, where civil war has killed thousands and wounded thousands more. Ziv Medical Center in Safed, Israel,  "cannot confirm" whether the seven Syrians being treated are from the Syrian opposition or the military, said Dr. Oscar Embon, the hospital's director. "We treat patients regardless of religion, race, nationality and give the best care we can provide," Embon said. The Syrians are under guard for their own protection, he said. Israeli doctors frequently treat people from groups with which Israel has tensions, or even is engaged in conflict. In November, CNN visited an Israeli hospital treating an Israeli child and a Palestinian child, both wounded in warfare between Israel and militants in Gaza.
