After more than three years of war, the number of Israeli soldiers suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder following bloody campaigns in Gaza and Lebanon has risen drastically. In the lead-up to Israel’s crucial legislative elections, FRANCE 24 speaks with soldiers left shell-shocked by the country’s wars.

They’re anywhere from 20 to 50 years old, and glad to be back together. They hold one another, laughing, and slap each other on the back.
一年来,这18名男子聚在一起,让他们有机会说话、被倾听,并相互支持。在一支心理学家团队的陪伴下,他们都患有不同程度的创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)。应资助该项目的捐助者邀请,他们都正前往纽约度过一周。
For a year now, these 18 men have come together to give them a chance to speak, and be heard, and to support one another. Accompanied by a team of psychologists, they are all living with varying degrees of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). At the invitation of donors who have funded the programme, they are all on their way to spend a week in New York.
他们中的大多数人不想接受媒体采访。但利奥尔·塔皮瑟,一个体格健壮、金发、面带灿烂笑容的男子,走上前来,压低了声音。
Most of them have no interest in speaking to the media. But Lior Tapicer, a burly blond man with a broad grin, steps forward and lowers his voice.
“他们都疯了,我爱他们,”他说。“他们让我觉得不那么疯了。”
“They’re all crazy, I love them,” he said. “They make me feel less crazy.”
他同意告诉我们他的故事——一个被2023年10月7日哈马斯领导的袭击以及与他的战斗部队一起在加沙地带废墟中寻求报复的数月所创伤的年轻人的故事。利奥尔·塔皮瑟在特拉维夫本古里安机场。© David Gormezano,法国24电视台‘我随时可能死去’ 塔皮瑟29岁,已从以色列国防军(IDF)退役,现在担任自然疗法师,他说。他说,使他无法继续作为预备役军人服役的创伤,最初是在2023年10月7日哈马斯领导的袭击期间在他心中扎根的。
He agrees to tell us his story – that of a young man traumatised by the Hamas-led attacks on October 7, 2023, and by months spent fighting alongside his combat unit, looking for revenge in the ruins of the Gaza Strip Lior Tapicer at Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport. © David Gormezano, FRANCE 24‘I could die at any second’ Twenty-nine years old, Tapicer has been discharged from the Israeli Defence Force (IDF) and is now working as a naturopath, he said. He says that the trauma that had made him unfit to keep going as an army reservist first took root in him during the Hamas-led October 7, 2023 attacks.
随着对以色列南部袭击的报道传开,他加入所在部队,冲向加沙地带边境附近的基布兹,那里与哈马斯武装人员及其他巴勒斯坦战斗员的战斗仍在继续。
As reports of the attacks on southern Israel spread, he joined his unit and rushed off to the kibbutzim near the border with the Gaza Strip, where combat with Hamas militants and other Palestinian fighters was still raging.
“他们给了我一支旧步枪,我甚至没有战斗头盔——我们坐着敞篷吉普车开过去,”他说。“到处都是烧焦尸体的气味,到处都是尸体。吓得要命——我记得身在自己国家,却随时可能丧命的那种恐惧。”
“They gave me an old rifle, I didn’t even have a combat helmet – we were driving in an open jeep,” he said. “The smell of burnt bodies was everywhere, there were bodies everywhere. It was scary as shit – I remember the feeling of being in my own country, and being afraid that I could die at any second.”
