Israeli Soldier Commits Suicide on Nahariya Beach

Israeli media revealed that an Israeli soldier committed suicide, Saturday, at the beach in Nahariya, north of Israel.

The Hebrew website Hadashot Bezman stated the soldier who took his life was from the reserve forces and he had been fighting in Gaza.

Earlier, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz revealed that 10 occupation officers and soldiers committed suicide since 7 October, 2023. It said a number of them  committed suicide in  the battles in the settlements surrounding Gaza according to the Arabic Quds Press website.

The Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, had announced it rescued an Israeli prisoner from trying to take away his life at his place of captivity in the Gaza Strip.

In mid-March, the Israeli army acknowledged that it had been facing the biggest problem in mental health since 1973 because of the Israeli-waged war in Gaza  since the start of the Battle of the Flood of Al-Aqsa.

According to Israeli army figures, 688 soldiers and officers were killed since the beginning of the war on 7 October, including 328 in ground battles in Gaza. The army’s data also indicates that 2,147 soldiers were wounded in ground battles in the Strip.
