The Israeli daily, Yedioth Ahronoth has stated that six more Israeli soldiers who have fought in Gaza and Lebanon for an “extended period of time” have committed suicide.
The breaking news, made Friday night, is now trending on the social media.
Israeli soldiers taking away their lives is not a new phenomenon but news of this kind has increased over the last year during the Israeli genocide on Gaza and now Lebanon.
In late October a CNN report suggested Israeli soldiers returning from fighting in Gaza are “plagued by suicide”.
This is because they are suffering from psychological traumas as a result of both of what they have seen in Gaza and the things they did to civilians during their military service there.
In testimonies to CNN Israeli soldiers have revealed the horror’s of Israeli operations, testifying that troops had to run over dead and/or Palestinians “in the hundreds.” They speak of “gruesome” sights with one telling CNN “when you see a lot of meat outside and blood…both ours and theirs, then it really affects you when you eat.”
These scenes have become too much for Israeli soldiers despite the fact there are only sketchy figures of how many have actually taken away their lives but the figures are likely too be much higher taking into account of the Israeli military censors.
However, reports are regularly made about the thousands of Israeli soldiers requiring psychological treatment in Israeli hospital after serving in Gaza and now in Lebanon.
Haaretz reported back in May 10 Israeli soldiers took away their lives rather than go back to serving in the slaughter on Gaza.
And later on frequent cases of Israeli soldiers committing suicide rather than having to go back and continue fighting where the possibility of getting killed was very real are frequently highlihted.
Back in July there was the case of the reserve soldier who took away his life on Nahariya beech, north of Israel.
Rather than go back, he decided to end his life. And then there was the case of Santiago Ovadia, no doubt a mercenary judging from his name and who took away his life because of not being able to take it anymore.
Israeli soldiers are under much pressure in Gaza and now Lebanon which they have been fighting there since 1 October, 2024 and like in Gaza, are getting killed and injured.
Israeli soldiers are fatigued but are being pushed to fight by their military Generals and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Despite the noises of protests they are making – through the media, sending letters of protests, refusing to serve in the army and even fleeing abroad never to return, their political masters insist that Israeli army must keep fighting.
