ILTV News Podcast | Can Israelis Survive a Second Trauma?

On this episode of the ILTV News Podcast, Executive Editor Maayan Hoffman speaks with two powerful voices on the frontlines of Israel’s hidden war: the mental health crisis. Prof. Eyal Fruchter, former IDF mental health chief and co-founder of ICAR, explains how repeated missile attacks—first from Hamas, now Iran—are retraumatizing an already battered population. He breaks down the warning signs of PTSD, how civilians and soldiers are coping, and what Israel is doing (and not doing) to scale up care. Yuval Wagner, founder of Access Israel, reveals how people with disabilities are being left behind during evacuations—and what his team is doing to save lives under fire.
