Tel Aviv and Ma'ale Adumim CNN " A 40-year-old father of four, Eliran Mizrahi deployed to Gaza after the deadly Hamas-led attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. The Israeli military reservist returned a different person, traumatized by what he had witnessed in the war against Hamas in the strip, his family told CNN. Six months after he was first sent to fight, he was struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) back at home. Before he was due to redeploy, he took his own life. "He got out of Gaza, but Gaza did not get out of him. And he died after it, because of the post-trauma," his mother, Jenny Mizrahi, said.
