Three Israeli Soldiers Kill Themselves in Under 2 Weeks

Three Israeli soldiers committed suicide in under two weeks after serving in the war Gaza.

This is a harrowing made increasingly so after Israel’s Channel 12 stated that an Israeli soldier took his life after serving in the war in Gaza that in now reaching its second year.

Meanwhile the Israeli Haaretz daily stated that 15 Israeli soldiers have killed themselves since the beginning of 2025.

This is an unprecedented for the Israeli army and well above in the previous years. For in 2024, 21 soldiers committed suicide after serving in the Gaza war which started soon after 7 October, 2023.

The Israeli newspaper stated most of those that took their lives were reserve soldiers that entered the army recently and after the horrors they saw in the Gaza battlefield and which is increasingly affecting their psychological state of mind.

The Israeli Institute for Security Affairs is warning the Israeli soldiers are facing the toughest battles in the different areas of Gaza and who are facing strenuous resistance not only from Hamas fighters but those from different Palestinian factions.

The Institute states the Israeli army in Gaza is facing the biggest crisis in human resources in its history and needs tens of thousands of extra soldiers because of the intensity of fighting on the Gaza battlefields.
