Hebrew media outlets have revealed major economic losses suffered by the Israeli economy as a result of the ongoing war with Iran, with direct losses exceeding $3 billion per week.
According to data attributed to the Israeli Ministry of Finance, the damage to the Israeli economy caused by the war amounts to more than 9 billion shekels per week, equivalent to about $2.93 billion.
The leaked estimates indicate that these figures reflect only the direct economic losses and do not include the military expenditures borne by Israel as part of its military operations, nor the costs associated with the ongoing air campaign.
Economic Losses Excluding Military Damage
Despite strict restrictions imposed by Israeli authorities on publishing information related to wartime losses, these figures were leaked, revealing the scale of pressure facing the Israeli economy.
The published estimates also do not include losses resulting from Iranian missile strikes targeting sites inside Israel, and the damage they have caused to buildings, facilities, and infrastructure.
Growing Economic Repercussions
Observers believe that the continuation of the war could lead to further escalation of economic losses, particularly with disruptions affecting vital sectors and a decline in commercial and investment activities.
This is occurring amid ongoing military operations between Iran and Israel, alongside growing concerns about a possible widening of the confrontation and its economic and security repercussions for the entire region.
