A segment aired on i24 news Tuesday evening showed Israeli soldiers participating in a yoga session as part of an initiative aimed at treating trauma from the Gaza war. The journalist presenting the segment said: "PTSD is something real that many are going through, not just from combat, not just from October 7th and the war, but also the impact of the world reaction to the war and the situation here in Israel." The initiative is one of several civil-society and military mental-health efforts documented since the war began. The Zioneer has previously reported on fundraising campaigns for soldier mental health after hundreds of days of fighting, including a campaign reaching over 300 days of war that noted cases of soldiers taking their own lives due to untreated trauma. This i24 report adds a specific therapeutic activity — yoga — as a method being used in such programs, though no details on the organization running the sessions, the number of participants, or clinical outcomes were provided.
