Abstract
ABSTRACT This article investigates socioeconomic determinants correlated with PostTraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms during the May 2021 Hamas-Israel conflict, primarily the effects of rocket strikes on Israeli civilians. Its findings reveal a stark disparity in PTSD risks across different socioeconomic groups with individuals from lower socioeconomic backgrounds exhibiting a notably higher propensity for PTSD symptoms than people with higher education and stable family backgrounds. The article’s implications extend far beyond the immediate context of the Israel-Hamas conflict. By highlighting the socioeconomic dimensions of PTSD, it advocates for more comprehensive, context-sensitive mental health strategies. Such strategies are crucial for addressing the complex array of factors influencing mental health in conflict zones, ultimately paving the way for more resilient and supportive communities.
