PNN – Zionist officials have warned about the tsunami of mental health and suicide among Israelis after the war in Gaza and Lebanon and emphasized that every year about 500 Israelis commit suicide and 7,000 people commit suicide, and this number will increase after the war.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, While since the beginning of the Gaza war and especially after the expansion of the conflicts with Hezbollah, numerous reports were published in the Hebrew media about mental disorders and the escalation of the suicide phenomenon among the soldiers of the Zionist army and the settlers of this regime, who are actually considered militias. The head of the organization known as the “Internal Council for Suicide Prevention in Israel” warned about the tsunami of mental health and the increase in suicide rates among Israelis after the end of the war with Lebanon.
The psychological crisis of October 7 does not stop Israelis
Gil Zeltsman, the head of this council, warned about the tsunami of Israelis’ mental health and the increase in suicide cases, and announced that last year we saw a 40% increase in referrals to mental health and crisis centers.
This Zionist official called for limiting the distribution of weapons among Israeli settlers and added a question to the application form for a gun permit, with the theme, “Have you ever thought about suicide?”
He emphasized that 2.5 to 5 million shekels (the currency of the Zionist regime) should be added to the budget of the Ministry of Education’s program related to suicide prevention.
In this context, “Yoni Mishraki”, the head of the health committee of the Zionist regime and a member of the Knesset of this regime, emphasized: the same mental crises that happened to Israelis in the early hours of the start of the terrible attack on October 7, are still with them. The large budget allocated to the domestic suicide prevention program is not enough, and the Ministry of Education should allocate another budget to the suicide prevention program entitled “You Choose Life”.

“Mary Cohen”, the director of internal relations and internal programs of the Ministry of Health of the Zionist regime, said in this regard: after the end of the war, there may be more suicide cases among Israelis. At least one person commits suicide in Israel every day, and in most cases, suicide reports are not registered and families attribute the death of their children to another factor.
He added: About 400 to 500 people commit suicide in Israel every year, and about 7,000 suicide attempts are reported to emergency rooms every year. The budget allocated to the suicide prevention program for 2024 amounts to 15.7 million shekels, to which 2 million shekels will be added.
“Tatiana Mazarsky,” one of the activists at the Suicide Prevention Institute, warned about the mental crisis of Israelis who suffer from mental disorders with any tension.
Also, Yediot Aharonot newspaper reported: The number of Israeli soldiers suffering from mental problems as a result of the long war in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon has increased significantly, and 6 army soldiers committed suicide in recent months.
This Hebrew media emphasized: Of course, the actual number of soldiers who committed suicide is much more than six people, and the army, as usual, does not provide their exact statistics.
Channel 12 of the Zionist regime announced in a detailed report that the Israeli army has faced an unprecedented crisis in the field of mental health of Israeli soldiers.
This crisis has reached such an extent that Eyal Zamir, the director general of the Ministry of War, has sent an unprecedented letter to the head of the budget allocation department of the Israeli Ministry of Finance, asking for a separate budget in this regard.
In this letter, which has been mentioned as a strategic warning, he has demanded an increase of 200 psychoanalysts specializing in social issues to respond to the large number of referrals to psychological centers affiliated to the army, which will cost tens of millions of shekels per year.
“Tamar”, the mother of one of the commando forces of the Zionist regime, said in this regard: The duration of the treatment that the army gives to our children is short and therefore it does not work, how can you really heal the soul and spirit of a person in one day?!! The army abuses our children, even the car gets tired and worn out after a while, so what is the duty of our 20-year-old children?
