I went to med school over in Be`er Sheva and saw a lot of patients in the ER after rocket attacks. I wish Ha`aretz and other Israeli sources would stop saying things like "27 people were treated for shock." In English, shock is a medical term meaning hypotensive emergency. The Israeli`s mean panic, or panic attack. Big difference. We`re not talking about transfusing blood, we`re talking about the mental toll.
