"IDF states Eliran Mizrahi not eligible to be buried in an army cemetery because he wasn’t on active duty at time of death; mother says he returned from Gaza war ‘a broken man’"
"The Israel Defense Forces is refusing to recognize a reservist with post-traumatic stress disorder who took his own life after being ordered to return to combat in the Gaza Strip as a fallen soldier, his family said Sunday."
"According to Channel 12 news, Mizrahi was recognized as a disabled IDF veteran and diagnosed with PTSD, but received an order on Friday to report for duty in Rafah two days later. He then took his own life."
“He had rockets fired at him, he saw his friends die, and he brought bodies back, and he still did everything for Israel,”
"As a result of his time in Gaza, Hila said, Eliran was injured physically and mentally and was told by a doctor that he would not be able to go back into combat."
