Suicide Accounts for 1/2 of IDF Fatalities in 2005
Excerpts:
“The army has issued tighter restrictions on soldiers’ weapons because 33 soldiers committed suicide this year …”
“Brig.-Gen. Avi Zimer … gave the information as part of the IDF’s annual fatalities report. The number of suicides accounted for half of the 66 fatalities in the 2005 report, marking a jump from 2004 of 28 suicides.”
What is not being disclosed to the public is how many of these 33 suicides occured post-expulsion. MB
