Summary
More than 90,000 wounded and disabled IDF veterans are now in rehabilitation, marking the largest such effort in Israel’s history after Oct. 7 and the “Swords of Iron” war.
Most of the newly injured are younger reservists, and many face psychological trauma alongside physical wounds, turning recovery into a decades-long process of prosthetics, therapy and career rebuilding.
Beit Halochem’s centers in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Haifa, Beer Sheva and Ashdod are expanding support through physical rehabilitation, mental-health treatment, vocational training, scholarships and family programs.
The network, recently renamed Warriors of Israel from Beit Halochem USA, says its focus is long-term dignity and reintegration rather than political battles over boycotts and sanctions abroad.
