AhlulBayt News Agency: There has been a 40 percent rise in the number of suicides in the Israeli regime’s army, the regime’s war ministry says.
The ministry said in a report that if preventive measures are not introduced, this rate could further increase, the Jerusalem Post reported.
The report noted a growing trend of psychological issues among the Israeli regime military forces.
It said that more than two years after the start of wars in Gaza and Lebanon, there has been a wave of psychological problems seen among the armed forces, especially reservists.
According to official sources, 74 suicide cases resulting in death have been reported among Israeli troops since the start of the war in Gaza in October 2023.
There have also been 239 suicide attempts, the sources said.
Reports say that 60 percent of the soldiers wounded in the war suffer from psychological effects of the war such as depression, anxiety, insomnia and sleep disorders.
Also, 39 percent of the soldiers returning from war zones have sought psychological consultation.
