Israeli army reveals rise in soldiers’ suicides linked to Gaza war

LONDON: An Israeli army investigation has revealed that 16 soldiers committed suicide in 2025 due to harsh combat conditions related to the war in the Gaza Strip. Soldiers faced harsh realities in Gaza, including witnessing “difficult scenes,” experiencing the loss of friends, and struggling to cope with the prolonged combat. Investigators believe these factors played a significant role in leading the soldiers to take their own lives. The investigation examined letters left by soldiers and gathered details from their conversations with their immediate social circle.
