Saidyan set himself on fire in protest over his treatment for PTSD in front of the Defense Ministry's rehabilitation department offices in Petach Tikva, in central Israel.
The IDF veteran fought in the 2014 Gaza war and was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder following the conflict.
The attempted self-immolation has left him with severe burns all over his body. He is being treated at the Sheba Medical Center in Ramat Gan. He is still anesthetized and ventilated.
