Hostile-action casualties may be entitled to significant rights from the National Insurance Institute and from other state authorities.
People who were not physically injured, but suffered a psychological injury as a result of terror incidents and war, may in certain cases also be recognised as hostile-action casualties.
Who counts as a hostile-action casualty?
The National Insurance Institute recognises hostile-action casualties under the Invalids (Benefits and Rehabilitation) Law. That definition includes:
- People physically injured in a terror incident
- People psychologically injured in a terror incident
- Residents who were exposed to a terror incident
- Family members of casualties
What entitlements may be available?
- Medical and psychological treatment
- Disability percentages
- Monthly allowances
- Vocational rehabilitation
- Reimbursement of expenses
- A range of other benefits
💡 Worth knowing
The rights available to hostile-action casualties are wider than most people realise. A psychological injury alone, with no physical injury, may also lead to recognition and to significant entitlements.

We provide support at every stage of the process — from the first claim through to the final decision.
Recognition as a hostile-action casualty is not only about money — it is recognition of your pain and of the price you are paying. You deserve it.
