The WSJ has learned about the cost of the conflict with Iran for Israel per day

The conflict with Iran is costing Israel hundreds of millions of dollars a day, and such costs may limit the country's ability to wage a prolonged war. This was reported by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) on June 20, citing sources.

"The main factor that will really determine the cost of the war will be its duration," Carnita Flug, a former governor of the Central Bank of Israel and a senior researcher at the Israel Democracy Institute think tank, said in a statement.

She noted that Israel's economy could withstand a short campaign. The specialist clarified that if it takes several weeks, the situation will not change, but in the case of a longer period, it is "a completely different story."

According to the newspaper, the biggest costs are associated with interceptors needed to destroy Iranian missiles launched at targets in Israel. The price of interceptors can range from tens of millions to $200 million per day. The cost of conducting military operations is also increased by ammunition and aircraft, as well as damage to buildings.

The head of the Economic Policy Institute in Israel, Zvi Eckstein, said the war with Iran is costing Israel more than the war in Gaza. The institute estimates that the conflict between the countries, which will last one month, will cost about $12 billion.According to some estimates, it could cost Israel at least $400 million to repair or repair the damage.
