In a statement released by the army, it was revealed that approximately 85% of the soldiers who sought psychological assistance have since returned to active duty.

The statement further indicated that around 200 soldiers were discharged from the army due to the psychological challenges they faced as a result of the war.

Amid concerns over the potential development of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among troops involved in the Gaza conflict, the Israeli army's Medical Corps has announced plans to inaugurate a new mental health center for soldiers. The center is scheduled to be opened on Thursday.

The newly established mental health center will feature a clinic specifically designed to address PTSD among soldiers, the army elaborated.

The disclosure of the high number of soldiers seeking mental health support underscores the toll that military conflict can take on the mental well-being of troops, prompting efforts by the Israeli army to provide comprehensive care and support to those affected. (ILKHA)
