1,000% increase in requests for mental health treatment by Israeli reservists.
This frank admission comes after the Israeli army has faced a high level of psychological pressure, manpower exhaustion, and field failures in the Gaza Strip in recent months.
Previously, Israeli media had reported on the critical mental health situation among the Zionist military.
In this regard, the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper reported in April of this year that the army’s mental health clinics are facing an influx of clients and are unable to respond to the soldiers’ extensive needs.
Also, the Israeli TV Channel 13 reported that tens of percent of the army forces were suffering from acute symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), an issue that reflects the profound psychological effects of the attrition war in Gaza on the body of the occupying army.
