IDF soldier with PTSD imprisoned despite psychiatric warnings, says military defender


According to the KAN report from Monday, the soldier was discharged from the army due to psychological issues stemming from his service during the Israel-Hamas War. “Given the circumstances, it would have been more appropriate to direct him toward rehabilitation rather than incarceration.” Some of the soldiers underwent a lowering of their profile and returned to serve in a front-line role. According to Elkabets-Rothstein, the IDF is facing a widespread but under-addressed wave of PTSD cases among soldiers returning from combat operations in Gaza and along the northern border.
