The Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee held a special session to address post-traumatic stress among female combat soldiers, focusing on the unique challenges they face. Female soldiers shared personal testimonies about the need for trauma-recovery centers that cater specifically to women, and highlighted issues such as the lack of 24-hour rehabilitation services and the impact of trauma on motherhood and pregnancy. Lawmakers requested that the Defense Ministry provide more information on how treatment for trauma differs between male and female veterans. The discussion comes amid growing public concern over post-traumatic stress among troops since the outbreak of war in October 2023, with official figures revealing a significant number of suicide attempts and deaths among soldiers and security personnel.
