Rising suicides among Israeli war returnees

An Israeli combat veteran has sounded the alarm over what he describes as a mental health crisis among soldiers returning from combat in Gaza, citing a recent spike in suicides.

Speaking to Israeli public broadcaster Kan, Tzachi Atedagi, an advocate for the mental health of soldiers, said 10 soldiers had taken their own lives in less than two weeks.

“We are crying out. Enough is enough,” Atedagi told Kan Network B’s This Morning programme.

He said returning combat veterans are struggling to access timely care due to overwhelming bureaucracy.
