6 Israeli Soldiers End Their Lives Amid Iran War Stress | IDF Troops GONE , Netanyahu Stays Silent

A silent crisis is unfolding inside the Israel Defense Forces.

In April 2026 alone, multiple active-duty soldiers died by self-harm — not on the battlefield, but within the ranks. Reports indicate that the number of such deaths this year has already reached double digits, raising serious concerns about a growing mental health emergency.

This is not an isolated spike. In 2025, the military recorded 22 self-harm deaths — the highest in 15 years — with numbers rising steadily since the war began in October 2023.

Experts point to PTSD, combat trauma, and “moral injury” as key factors behind the crisis. Continuous deployments, repeated reserve call-ups, and the psychological burden of war are pushing soldiers to their limits.

A Knesset report revealed hundreds of self-harm attempts in recent years, with combat soldiers heavily affected.

But perhaps the most alarming detail — many of those who died had little or no recent contact with mental health professionals.

Behind every number is a life, a family, and a unit forever changed.

This is the hidden human cost of prolonged conflict — one that rarely makes headlines, but leaves the deepest scars
