Rising suicide rate among Israeli military personnel
Israeli psychiatrists have reported an increase in the average suicide rate among settlers and Israeli army personnel since the start of Operation Al-Aqsa Storm.
According to the Hebrew website News Israel, mental health experts have asked the Knesset Health Committee to provide the necessary funds to help survivors of the October War (Al-Aqsa Storm) because the average suicide rate among them has increased significantly . Tesfya Seligman, head of the Lutim Psychiatric Center at Tel Aviv's Ichilov Hospital, said many people are suicidal and this situation has led to an increase in suicide attempts. Not long ago, the Zionist TV channel Kan admitted that more than two thousand troops in the ground war against the Gaza Strip were forced to see a psychiatrist due to psychological problems. Suicides among Zionist regime soldiers with mental disorders have become common. Zionist media have repeatedly reported self-immolations, hangings and self-immolations by soldiers. Although the Zionist regime has refused to update military suicide statistics since Operation Al-Aqsa Storm, previous studies show that the number of suicides among Zionist military personnel increased significantly in 2022 and became the number one cause of death among them.
