"Israeli" army links 16 soldier suicides in 2025 to war trauma
The "Israeli" Public Broadcasting Corporation (Kan) reported on Sunday that the "Israeli" army has acknowledged a link between the rise in suicides among soldiers, including reservists, and the ongoing multi-front war the country is currently engaged in. An internal military investigation, cited by the broadcaster, found that most recent suicide cases were tied to traumatic experiences soldiers endured, the loss of comrades, and difficulty coping with the psychological aftermath of combat. The report said the military investigated each suicide case individually, reviewing farewell letters left behind and speaking with the soldiers' families and friends to understand the circumstances. A senior military official told Kan: 'Most of the suicides among soldiers were a result of the complex reality of the war. War has consequences.'

Iran reportedly detains two Jewish American citizens on espionage charges
Two American citizens are among at least 35 Jews reportedly detained in Iran on suspicion of spying for 'Israel' following the 12-day war last month, according to a report by the 'Israeli' Public Broadcasting Corporation (Kan). One of the American nationals has been released on bail in recent days, while the other remains imprisoned. Kan identified the released American as a Jewish person of Iranian ancestry from Los Angeles. The other American reportedly left Iran for New York three decades ago. Both individuals were in Iran to visit relatives when they were apprehended. An unidentified source involved in efforts to secure their release commented that "the two Americans arrived in the wrong place at the wrong time." In a related development, Iranian authorities recently released 11 members of the Jewish community who were also accused of spying for 'Israel'.

Top Houthi military commander survives 'Israeli' assassination attempt: Hebrew media
Muhammad Abd al-Karim al-Ghamari, the Iran-aligned Houthi's Chief of General Staff, survived an 'Israeli' assassination attempt but sustained serious injuries, the 'Israeli' Public Broadcasting Corporation (Kan News) reported. The 'Israeli' air force reportedly launched a targeted strike Saturday night on the Yemeni capital Sanaa, aiming to kill al-Ghamari, a top-ranking military official in the Houthi leadership. While Hebrew Channel 12 confirmed the airstrike was intended to eliminate al-Ghamari, it stopped short of providing full details on the operation's outcome. However, Kan said later the Houthi official was injured but survived. Meanwhile, Axios cited an 'Israeli' official who described the operation as part of broader efforts to counter Iranian influence in the region, noting that al-Ghamari was considered the Houthis' highest-ranking military commander. Who is Mohammed al-Ghamari? Al-Ghamari serves as the Chief of General Staff for Houthi forces and is regarded as one of the group's most senior and influential military leaders. He joined the movement in 2013 and has led operations on key fronts, including Saada and Hodeidah.

'Israel' tourism losses top $3.4 billion since Oct 7
'Israel's' tourism industry has experienced an unprecedented collapse, with losses surpassing USD3.4 billion since the genocide on Gaza bagan on October 7, 2023, according to official 'Israeli' data released on Wednesday. The 'Israeli' Public Broadcasting Corporation reported that the sector is facing a crisis of historic proportions, with a decline of more than 90 percent in the number of incoming tourists since the genocide began. The 'Israeli' Ministry of Tourism's data reveals that direct and indirect losses in the sector have exceeded 12 billion shekels (USD3.4 billion) to date. The broadcaster highlighted the "unprecedented collapse" of the 'Israeli' tourism sector since October 7, describing the incurred losses as "devastating." Officials attribute this sharp decline to a near-complete halt in international air travel, travel warnings issued by dozens of countries, the prevailing security uncertainty and instability on the domestic front, and the continued targeting of Ben Gurion Airport by Yemen's Houthis, which has further disrupted air traffic and raised safety concerns among travelers. The 'Israeli' Hotel Association noted that occupancy rates in tourist hotels have plummeted to historic lows, not exceeding 10 percent in some regions, compared to rates that surpassed 80 percent during similar seasons in previous years. A significant number of hotels and tourism facilities have been forced to reduce their operations or temporarily close their doors, the association added. Concerns have been raised within the tourism sector that the crisis may persist long after military operations cease, given the damage to 'Israel's' image as a safe tourist destination.
