Israeli soldier committed suicide after receiving order to fight in Gaza

ALQUDS, June 09 (YPA) – An Israeli occupation soldier committed suicide after receiving an order to return to military service and to fight in the Gaza Strip, Israeli Radio reported on Sunday.

Earlier, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz revealed that 10 officers and soldiers of the occupation have committed suicide since October 7th, some during battles in Gaza.

Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas, also announced that it had rescued an Israeli prisoner from a suicide attempt where he was captured in the Gaza Strip.

In mid-March, the occupation army acknowledged that it has been facing the biggest mental health problem since 1973, against the backdrop of the war that the Palestinian resistance factions in the Gaza Strip have been waging since the Al-Aqsa Strom Operation.

Last month, Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper said that an internal poll in the “Israeli Army” showed that only 42 percent of officers in permanent military service to continue after the end of the war on Gaza, compared to 49% recorded in August last year.
