The Israeli military has released its casualty data for 2025, revealing a significant decline in soldier deaths compared to the previous year. The drop is attributed mainly to reduced combat fatalities as fighting in Gaza subsided. In 2025, 151 soldiers died, with 88 killed during operational activity, three in terror attacks, and the remainder from illness, accidents, or suicide. The number of deaths classified as suicides remained steady at 21, mirroring the previous year's figures, highlighting ongoing concerns about the psychological effects of military service. In response, the military chief has ordered the implementation of new recommendations aimed at addressing suicides linked to psychological trauma among soldiers.
