JAKARTA - An Israeli soldier committed suicide after receiving orders to advance to the battlefield.

Citing Israel's public broadcasting agency Kan via AA, Tuesday, November 5, the suicide Israelis came from reserve soldiers mobilized for military service.

The Israel Ministry of Defense's Rehabilitation Department noted that the number of victims including those injured increased sharply.

Since Israel's invasion of Gaza Palestine on October 7, 2023, some 12,000 Israeli security forces and forces have been injured.

Israel's Ministry of Defense detailed that the number of its military members receiving treatment due to injuries increased by 20 percent, now totaling around 74,000 soldiers.

Among the victims, about 1,500 soldiers were injured again amid ongoing fighting.

Tensions in the Middle East have risen as a result of Israel's brutal attack on the Gaza Strip, which has killed more than 43,400 people, mostly women and children.

Conflict then spread to Lebanon leaving more than 3,000 people dead, another 13,500 injured, in the past 13 months.

The Lebanese Ministry of Public Health said the death toll consisted of 589 women and 185 children.

Israel's relentless attacks on Gaza and Lebanon are known to have received international warnings of the potential for a regional war in the Middle East.

However, Israel again circumvented international rules by expanding the conflict of launching a ground attack on southern Lebanon starting October 1, 2024.
