Hebrew media: 18 Israeli soldiers have committed suicide since the beginning of 2025.

Hebrew media reported on Friday that 18 Israeli soldiers have committed suicide since the beginning of 2025, including three in July, compared to nine soldiers during the first half of 2024.

"The data indicates a significant increase in the number of suicides in the army this year compared to previous years," Israeli Army Radio said.

She noted that it was based on "Israeli military data obtained from sources familiar with the details, and not official information from the military itself."

She said, "In the first half of 2025, 15 Israeli soldiers committed suicide, in addition to three soldiers this month, making a total of 18 soldiers since the beginning of the year."

She added, "In contrast, in the first half of 2024, suicide data was half that number, or 9 soldiers."
