The Israeli Army Announces the Suicide of 21 Soldiers During 2025

The Israeli Army announced on Tuesday evening the suicide of 21 soldiers during 2025, out of 151 killed since the beginning of the current year.

The occupation army stated in a statement: "151 of its officers and soldiers were killed during the year 2025, including 88 killed in operational activities."

It added that "3 soldiers were killed in attacks and hostile acts, 15 due to illness, 17 in civilian traffic accidents, one in a military traffic accident, another due to a weapon incident, and 5" in other incidents not mentioned.

Also, 21 soldiers committed suicide, including 11 in mandatory service, 9 in reserve, and one soldier from the regular forces.

How many were the Israeli Army's casualties since the start of the war on Gaza?

According to the army's announced data, 923 soldiers were killed and 3,879 were injured since the start of the war on the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023.

The Israeli Army faces internal accusations of concealing a higher toll of its human losses, to maintain morale and within a propaganda war.

The army continued on Tuesday that it "is working to provide tools and support for all service members in the fields of mental health and suicide prevention."

It added that a specialized clinic was established for regular service members concerned with treating "combat reactions of those discharged from service."

On December 16 of this month, an Israeli soldier committed suicide by shooting himself in a military base in the north of the country, according to a Hebrew newspaper.

With his suicide, the number of soldiers who committed suicide since the beginning of the genocide war on Gaza rose to 61, according to Israeli data.

Soldiers in the Israeli army usually suffer from severe psychological disorders after participating in genocide crimes in Gaza, where about 2.4 million Palestinians live.

The Israeli genocide in Gaza has resulted in more than 71,000 Palestinian martyrs and 171,000 injured, mostly children and women, and massive destruction, with reconstruction costs estimated by the United States at about $70 billion.

Since October 10 last month, a ceasefire agreement has prevailed between Hamas and Israel, which the latter violates daily, resulting in the martyrdom of 418 and the injury of 1,141 Palestinians, according to the government media office in the sector.
