The IDF Disabled Organization responded to the suicide of ItzChen, an IDF invalid who was wounded in Lebanon.
"We are in pain and shocked by the suicide of the late IDF soldier Yitzhak Chen. Yitzhak was recognized as disabled due to a physical injury in his service, but also sought recognition following post-trauma, and did not receive it.
"This is exactly what we are constantly shouting about: there are IDF disabled people who have been waiting for recognition of their disability for years, fall between the cracks over time and do not receive proper treatment. As part of the 'One Soul' reform, extensive attention is paid to the issue we will continue to address the issue until it is fully resolved, " the organization said in a statement.
