Over 890 Israeli soldiers have died since October, prompting mental health responses as suicides and stress rise.

Since October 2023, 891 Israeli soldiers have been killed, marking the highest death toll since the Yom Kippur War in 1973. The deaths include casualties from combat, accidents, and 28 suspected suicides, a significant increase from previous years. The IDF has responded by opening a 24/7 mental health hotline and hiring 800 mental health officers. Despite these efforts, thousands of reservists have stopped serving due to mental stress, and a letter from over 130 soldiers calls for an end to the war.
