New figures show 30,000 wounded over three years
The article discusses the increase in the number of wounded members of the Israeli security forces since the start of the Gaza War in October 2023. The Rehabilitation Department has received approximately 30,000 wounded individuals over the past three years, bringing the total number of patients to around 91,000. Data indicates that psychological injuries constitute the largest part of the consequences, with 63% of the wounded (about 18,900 people) suffering from mental health disorders. It is expected that this number will rise to 100,000 by 2028, most of whom will have intellectual disabilities and post-traumatic stress disorder. The rehabilitation budget has doubled, increasing by 88% to reach 10 billion shekels, with new services introduced such as mobile “Matan” teams and assistance dogs to support those affected in dealing with ongoing psychological and physical burdens.
