'I saw horrors': 'Israeli' soldier commits suicide after serving in Gaza, Lebanon
"He told me he saw horrors. He couldn't stand the pain anymore," the mother of soldier Daniel Edri told Walla News.
Edri ended his life in Biriya Forest, in the northern 'Israeli' settlement of Safed, after setting himself on fire inside his car.
He was reported to be in deep mental distress from the wars in Lebanon and the Gaza Strip. His mother asked for him to be buried in a military funeral, but as of now, her request has not been granted.
"He told me that he saw horrors, and said to me: Mom, I smell the smell of the bodies and I see the bodies all the time,' his mother recalled.
Edri enlisted for service in the 'Israeli' military, and was discharged five months ago. He served in a combat support role in Gaza and Lebanon, which involved transporting the bodies of 'Israeli' soldiers several times.
One week ago, he asked to be hospitalized in a psychiatric ward after his mental health deteriorated, but was told to wait and that he would be soon admitted.

Gaza civil defence says 12 killed by 'Israeli' forces
Gaza's civil defence agency said 'Israeli' forces killed at least 12 people on Monday, including six in a clinic housing Palestinians displaced after 21 months of war. 'Israel' has recently expanded its military operations in the Gaza Strip, where the war has created dire humanitarian conditions for the Palestinian territory's population of more than two million. Civil defence spokesman Mahmud Bassal told AFP that six people were killed and 15 injured in an 'Israeli' air strike that hit the Al-Rimal clinic, "which houses hundreds of displaced people, in the Al-Rimal neighbourhood west of Gaza City." In the south of the territory, Bassal said two people were killed and 20 others injured by 'Israeli' forces' gunfire while waiting for aid near a distribution site run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) northwest of Rafah. A US- and 'Israel'-backed group, the GHF took the lead in food distribution in the territory in late May, but its operations have had a chaotic rollout with repeated reports of aid seekers killed near its facilities. The Red Cross has reported "a sharp surge in mass casualty incidents linked to aid distribution sites" over the past month, which has "overwhelmed Gaza's shattered healthcare system". In a statement, the ICRC said its 60-bed field hospital in Rafah "has been running beyond maximum capacity almost daily." "Its staff are racing to treat an unrelenting tide of injuries, the vast majority caused by gunfire," it said. Hundreds reported killed The UN human rights office said last week that more than 500 people have been killed waiting to access food from GHF distribution points. In Khan Yunis in the south, Bassal reported two people killed in an air strike on a house and another killed by 'Israeli' gunfire.
