Since the beginning of the ground offensive in the Gaza Strip on October 7th, at least 1,600 Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers have exhibited symptoms of combat-related PTSD, with reports from IDF sources citing signs of stress, shell shock, and combat fatigue. Out of these, 250 soldiers have been discharged, although a later report from Haaretz indicated that 90 soldiers have been discharged due to psychological problems. Meanwhile, 76% of those discharged have returned to service. Israel's Defense Ministry has announced that up to 12,500 soldiers may be classified as disabled due to the conflict, with the number of disability recognition requests potentially reaching 20,000. The Soldier Rehabilitation Division is currently managing cases of 3,400 soldiers who have been declared disabled since the conflict's start on October 7th.
