An Israeli reserve soldier who took part in the genocide in Gaza committed suicide on Tuesday in his apartment in the central Israeli city of Rehovot, on the very day of his wedding, according to the Hebrew daily Maariv.

The paper reported that the 31-year-old soldier was scheduled to be married that evening but was found dead in his home after taking his own life. Ambulance crews arriving at the scene pronounced him dead, and police said circumstances remain under investigation.

The incident adds to what Israeli media have described as an alarming rise in suicides among army personnel, especially reservists, since October 2023, when Israel launched its genocidal war on Gaza.

    can we agree that genocide in Gaza is terrible and not get into a tankie argument?

    as far as I’m aware NK is hell, honestly if it’s all propaganda and NK is a great place to live, I would be happy. but it’s nearly impossible to figure out unless I travel there, which won’t happen.

      I didn’t bring this into the conversion and start throwing racist ignorance around. You clearly don’t know anything about North Korea outside of absurd propaganda and are now deflecting from that ignorance, ignoring everything I wrote to you.

      Take responsibility for your actions or stop commenting nonsense.
