The IDF also focused on psychological care for soldiers, treating around 15,000 cases of stress-related injuries, 82% of whom returned to combat. Additionally, around 2,000 soldiers were treated for combat stress reactions, 85% of whom resumed combat duties.

Reserve Call-Ups
The mobilization of reserves was extensive, with approximately 300,000 reservists called up since the beginning of the war. Of these, about 18% were women and 82% men. The age breakdown shows that 46.56% of the reservists were aged 20-29, and 27.65% were aged 30-39.

Strengthening the Home Front
The IDF also invested in strengthening the home front, with approximately 950 soldiers assisting communities and around 170 soldiers helping evacuees from the Gaza border area in reception centers. The IDF’s “Magal and Herev” unit of the Education and Youth Corps is deployed in about 18 towns and municipalities near the Gaza Strip to bolster resilience on the home front.

The report reflects the combined effort of the IDF on both the frontlines and the home front, while handling complex operational and logistical challenges. The IDF emphasized that the data are accurate as of the time of the report’s publication and are subject to updates as the situation develops.
