An Israeli study has found that around 12 percent of reservist forces, who participated in the war on Gaza, had reported severe symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which significantly affects their ability to carry out their duties, making then unfit for war.

The study emphasized that the rate of fear among Israeli forces poses a serious threat to the regime which is facing a shortage of troops.
