Tel Aviv, MINA – An Israeli soldier has died by suicide at a military base in northern Israel, bringing the total number of soldiers who have taken their own lives since the beginning of the war on Gaza to 61, according to a report by the Hebrew newspaper Haaretz.

The newspaper reported on Tuesday that the soldier, a tracker in regular military service, shot himself inside the base. He sustained serious injuries and was later pronounced dead on Tuesday evening.

The report, prepared at the request of Knesset member Ofer Cassif, indicates an average of seven suicide attempts for every confirmed suicide case.[]
