At least 69 Israeli soldiers have died by suicide while in active duty since October 2023, according to figures released by the Israeli army and reported by the newspaper Haaretz. This number does not include soldiers who took their lives after completing their service within the last three years. So far this year, 19 Israeli soldiers have died by suicide while serving, with the most recent case occurring on Monday. Additionally, twelve soldiers have taken their own lives since the beginning of the year after having previously served during the past three years, as detailed in the Haaretz report. These figures highlight a concerning trend within the Israeli military. The data underscores growing concerns regarding the mental health and well-being of Israeli soldiers amid ongoing operations. The situation is prompting calls for increased support and resources for service members.
