Israeli Soldiers Face Psychiatric Care After October 7 Recovery Mission at Sde Teiman

Following the events of October 7, Israeli troops conducted searches for the remains of victims among the bodies of attackers. A reporter from Haaretz recounted disturbing scenes at the Sde Teiman military base, where corpses were stacked together. Trucks marked with fresh meat and ice cream logos arrived, eliciting varied reactions from the soldiers. The remains of both soldiers and civilians were transported to Shura base, while those identified as Hamas fighters were sent to Sde Teiman. The soldiers involved subsequently needed psychiatric support due to the psychological impact of dealing with decomposed bodies. A report by Der Freitag underscores the significant mental health effects on military personnel engaged in body recovery after the October 7, 2023 attacks.
