'Israeli' soldier commits suicide in northern military base
'Israeli' media reported on Monday that an 'Israeli' soldier died by suicide at a military base in northern 'Israel'. The incident reportedly occurred inside the base under circumstances that remain under investigation. A surge in suicides among Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) soldiers has raised alarms, with reports linking the rise to severe psychological trauma from prolonged combat in Gaza and southern Lebanon. According to recent data, at least 38 soldiers took their own lives in 2024, a sharp increase from 14 in 2022 and 11 in 2021, marking the highest toll in over a decade. The crisis, fueled by the intense stress of 'Israel's' ongoing military operations, has exposed deep mental health challenges within the IOF. 'Israeli' media, including Haaretz and Yedioth Ahronoth, report that 28 of the 38 suicides in 2024 occurred after the escalation of the Gaza conflict in October 2023, with 14 additional cases recorded in 2025 so far. One high-profile case involved 24-year-old soldier Daniel Edri, who set himself on fire near Safed on July 6, 2025, after suffering from severe post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Edri, tasked with transporting fallen soldiers' bodies, left a note stating, 'I smell so many corpses and I can't stand it anymore.'

'I saw horrors': 'Israeli' soldier commits suicide after serving in Gaza, Lebanon
An 'Israeli' soldier committed suicide yesterday one month after celebrating his 24th birthday, with his family citing an unstable mental condition after being drafted in the Gaza and Lebanon wars. "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.
