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.

Most people who participate in war crimes live on. The criminals become part of the problem regardless of what they would choose earlier. Sometimes this does utterly break people. But not often.

We are talking about a genocidal state and terrorist army here

Yes, and unfortunately many ordinary people can do that.

I live in Texas, and have been long listening to the stories of people who committed American war crimes .

I have no problem with soldiers who really regret their crimes and atone what they are done by participating in humanitarian stuffs . This soldier committed suicide rather than doing that so nothing of value was lost

Most people who do war crimes should die. Most people believe this so long as the war criminals aren't white.
