Suicide Crisis Continues in the Israeli Military
According to the English section of webangah News Agency, citing Mehr News Agency and Al Mayadeen, the phenomenon of suicide among Zionist soldiers in the Gaza conflict has surged in recent weeks. Hebrew sources today reported another suicide within the reserve forces of this regime’s army.
The Israeli military radio announced Thursday that a soldier committed suicide after serving more than 300 days in the reserves.
Hebrew newspaper Haaretz also reported that seven soldiers have died by suicide just during July.
A study conducted by Tel Aviv University and the Israeli army indicated a rise in suicides since the start of the gaza war. It found that 12 percent of soldiers suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Despite severe military censorship preventing media outlets from publishing accurate casualty figures-both battlefield deaths and suicides-the official statistics released by the occupying regime’s army show that over 43 soldiers have died by suicide since hostilities began.
The Hebrew website emphasized: “The cost of this war we pay is not limited to those killed on battlefields but includes soldiers who end their lives after returning home due to psychological trauma.”
The report states that currently about 15,000 Zionist soldiers are under continuous monitoring, with at least 35 percent suffering from mental health disorders.
The same Hebrew source stressed that these figures reveal a paralyzing psychological reality within the army and raise serious questions about the human toll on soldiers in a war still ongoing.
