Israel's War Fatigue Is Killing People on the Roads
המלחמה שמגיעה לכבישים: הנהגים לחוצים ועייפים - והסכנה גדולה
Summary
A study by Israel's Road Safety Authority reveals that the ongoing war is taking a heavy toll on driver behaviour, with participants reporting excessive drowsiness, post-traumatic stress symptoms and heightened anxiety. These psychological effects are linked to aggressive driving, traffic violations and basic errors behind the wheel. Since the start of Operation "Lion's Roar," 12 people have been killed in road accidents.
