300 soldiers said disabled by Gaza war
Channel 2 reports that 300 IDF soldiers will receive disability benefits for injuries sustained during their service in the summer Gaza conflict.
According to the TV report, nine soldiers have been recognized as 100 percent disabled, and 150 were labeled as over 20% handicapped. Sixty-two others were marked as between 10% and 19%, and 55 soldiers below 10 percent.
The report says the Defense Ministry is still considering some 200 additional requests, and notes that only a few soldiers were granted disability benefits for PTSD.
