The war in Gaza is taking a devastating toll on the Israeli Defense Forces. According to Israel’s Security Ministry, 1,152 soldiers have died since October 7, 2023, making it one of the deadliest periods for the IDF in recent history. Nearly 42% of the fallen were under 21, while 141 were over 40. The conflict has also triggered severe psychological impacts, with over 26,000 soldiers seeking mental health support and 43 reported suicides among IDF personnel. As Israel engages in ceasefire talks with Hamas and the U.S., the heavy casualties and growing PTSD crisis raise questions about the army’s ability to sustain operations.
