Hebrew media revealed that up to 3,000 Israeli soldiers have sought out mental health authorities since the start of the war on Gaza in October 7.

The Israeli occupation army continues to face difficult conditions in the Gaza Strip as the war approaches its fourth month.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu admitted that Israel has paid a ‘heavy price‘ due to the war.
The Washington Post newspaper, citing analysts, revealed that Israel’s economy had suffered a “severe blow” that raised concerns in Tel Aviv, as the war on Gaza had cost the occupation government $18 billion – a rate of $220 million per day.
Netanyahu added during a press conference earlier in January that he will not resign completely from power, and said that the war will continue for many months.
The Israeli newspaper Maariv meanwhile anticipates that Netanyahu’s days in government are numbered.
