The average suicide rate among Israeli soldiers has increased.
Israeli psychiatrists have reported an increase in the average suicide rate among both civilian settlers and soldiers in the army since the beginning of Operation Protective Edge.
The content discusses the increase in suicide rates among military personnel and settlers in Israel due to the continued occupation and repeated attacks on the Al-Aqsa Mosque by Israeli forces. Mental health experts have requested additional funding to provide treatment for individuals affected by war-related incidents, as many people have shown an abnormal tendency towards suicide. The lack of resources and budget for mental health treatment is highlighted, with a need for more treatment centers. The content also mentions a surprise operation called “Storm of Al-Aqsa” carried out by Palestinian resistance groups against Israeli positions, leading to a temporary ceasefire for a prisoner exchange. However, the ceasefire ended, and Israeli forces resumed attacks on Gaza in retaliation for the operation. This has led to the closure of all entry points to Gaza and ongoing bombardment of the area by Israeli forces.
