Israeli army forecasts '100,000 disabled veterans' by 2030

More than 10,000 Israeli soldiers were wounded in fighting and attacks or suffered from mental disorders caused by trauma since 7 October, the defence ministry has said. 

The rehabilitation division predicts that by 2030, the number of disabled veterans will reach around 100,000, with half suffering from mental health issues.

"The Defense Ministry is now discussing a strategy to absorb and treat those wounded in the war, on top of approximately 62,000 disabled IDF veterans already being treated by the division before the war," Haaretz reported on Wednesday.
