⚰️ Haaretz: 10+ Israeli soldiers have committed suicide since Oct ⁠7

In at least one case, a soldier whose death was announced as a war casualty “had in fact killed himself” reveals Haaretz (May 12).

The list includes “a couple of officers, ranking major and lieutenant colonel. Some killed themselves in the early hours of fighting, when battles were still raging” near Gaza. “This was very surprising. We are not used to suicides during fighting”, explains Prof. Yossi Levi-Belz, “[this] may point to the intensity of the horrors that took place in the Gaza Envelope during those hours.”

The IDF has started to recognize suicides as war casualties, but has changed its publishing policy after several weeks and is withholding at least 17 names, whether suicides or accidental deaths. “We thought it may be detrimental to public morale” - a source at the Personnel Directorate.

⋯ “[Regarding age] too, October 7 had an unusual effect”, Haaretz explains, “suddenly, the military has to contend with suicidal tendencies in career or reserve soldiers and officers, in their 30s and 40s”.

Examples of soldiers coping with suicidal thoughts include one who, early on, was involved in an incident of an anti-tank rocket that killed a soldier.

According to the Israeli army, 1,227 (or 1,277) soldiers have committed suicide since 1973, however sources maintain that the number is higher. The annual average has decreased in recent years (from 36 to 13), primarily thanks to more exemptions from service for mental causes.

Levi-Belz also explains that “crises decrease suicide rates”: the very existence of an external crisis, he says, causes one's internal hardships to dissipate, contributes to one's sense of belonging in society. But suicides do rise after the cannons fall silent and the crisis passes.

📝 For suicide from guilt, cf. the very high friendly-fire rate and the Hannibal Directive.

📹 Hezbullah releases unique footage of a close range attack with different types of weapons on the Israeli base in Rameem.

They used Almas ATGMs, traditional AT, B-9 recoilless rifles, and other small weapons.

Some of the attacks in this video took place less than 300 m from the border.

This attack was a real-life simulation on a real Israeli base on how to provide the adequate fire cover for a raid.

The only missing element was the order for forces to raid the Israeli base.
