Israeli soldier dies by suicide in New York after Gaza war
Hebrew media outlets reported that an Israeli soldier named Wil (William) Shakin, who volunteered to serve in the Israeli occupation army and participated in combat in the Gaza Strip, committed suicide in New York after suffering from severe psychological distress. It is noted that Shakin was among the foreign volunteers and served in the 13th Battalion of the Golan Brigade, where he lost friends during the fighting, which led to a deterioration in his mental health. This incident occurs in the context of increasing cases of suicide among Israeli soldiers, with Israel recording 18 cases since the beginning of the year and 22 cases during 2025, amid heightened tension resulting from the ongoing war on Gaza since October 8, 2023. The conflict has caused the deaths of over 73,000 Palestinians and injured more than 173,000, along with widespread destruction of infrastructure.
