An Israeli occupation soldier has taken his own life shortly after returning from combat operations in the Gaza Strip, Israeli media reported on Friday.
According to the reports, the soldier died by suicide on Thursday in the north of the occupied Palestinian territories, while his unit continues to fight in Gaza.
Investigations conducted by the Israeli occupation army revealed that the most recent suicides among its soldiers stem from combat-related circumstances and the difficulties associated with prolonged deployments in active combat zones.
The suicides resulted from the traumatic scenes soldiers witnessed, the loss of their fellow troops, and an inability to cope with the emotional toll of their experiences, according to the findings published by the official Israeli military broadcaster.

A high-ranking military official explained to Reshet Bet that the majority of soldier suicides stemmed from the difficult conditions created by the complicated postwar situation, noting the extreme challenges and the considerable volume of incidents.
