Knesset Committee Approves First Official Legislation Defining Combat Shock

The Knesset committee approved the "Combat Shock" law, introduced by Coalition Chairman Ofir Katz with bipartisan support. This legislation provides the first official legal definition of combat shock, recognizing its unique impact on affected individuals. Under the new law, personalized treatments will be offered through the Rehabilitation Department of the Ministry of Defense. Additionally, the law expands eligibility for benefits, compensation, and allowances for both those affected and their families. The legislation is scheduled for its second and third readings later this week.
