An Israeli soldier has died by suicide at a military base in the occupied Golan Heights, marking the third such incident in just 10 days. The soldier had reportedly participated in military operations against Palestinians in Gaza. The spate of suicides has raised concerns within the Israeli Defense Forces. Opposition leader Yair Lapid described it as a result of an “unbearable reality.” So far in 2025, at least 15 Israeli soldiers have taken their own lives. Since Israel’s assault on Gaza began on October 7, 2023, more than 57,000 Palestinians have been killed, with over 100,000 injured.
