Suicides Among Israeli Soldiers and Psychological Treatment for Thousands Due to War

Yedioth Ahronoth* reported that six Israeli soldiers have committed suicide in recent months after participating in combat in Gaza and Lebanon. This figure is only partial, as the Israeli army refuses to disclose the exact number of suicides or attempted suicides, promising to release the data by the end of the year.

The report highlights the severe psychological impact of the war, noting that thousands of soldiers are currently undergoing psychological treatment for mental exhaustion and war-related trauma. Military sources indicate a growing number of soldiers seeking psychological help, with many diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
