The American Wall Street Journal said that the war against Iran costs Israel, according to preliminary estimates, hundreds of millions of dollars per day, which may limit its ability to fight a long -term war.
The newspaper quoted experts that the largest individual cost incurred by Israel is the missiles needed to intercept the missiles coming from Iran, whose cost alone is estimated between tens of millions to 200 million dollars per day.
Also, the use of ammunition and aircraft raises the cost of the war, not to mention the unprecedented damage to the buildings, so far some estimates – to which the American newspaper relied – indicate that rebuilding or repairing damage may cost Israel at least $ 400 million.
Israeli officials said that the attack could last for two weeks, and the Israeli Prime Minister did not show Benjamin Netanyahu Any reference indicates his desire to stop before his military campaign achieves all its goals that include the elimination of Iran’s nuclear program and the production of ballistic missiles and their arsenal, according to the Wall Street Journal.
It is noteworthy that Netanyahu is required For the International Criminal Court On charges of war crimes And crimes against humanity In Gaza.
Carnet Flog, the former province of the Central Bank of Israel, who is now working as a prominent colleague at the Israel Institute for Democracy, believes that the main factor that will determine the real war cost is its duration.
The newspaper quoted her as saying that if the war continues for a week, this is something, but if it lasted for two weeks or a month, this is another completely different topic.
Anat Bellid, the newspaper’s correspondent in its report from Tel Aviv, indicated that Iran launched more than 400 missiles at Israel within a week.
She said that the missile defense system known as “David spray– Which was developed by Israel and the United States together – shooting down warplanes and short missilesDrivers aircraft.
It stated that the cost of activating this defensive system is about 700 thousand dollars at a time, assuming that he uses two objection missiles, which is usually minimum, according to Yahuhua Kalisky, a researcher at the Institute of National Security Studies based in Tel Aviv.
Other military expenditures include the cost of keeping dozens of warplanes-such as “F-35” fighters-in the air for hours each time at a distance of about 1,600 km from Israeli lands.
According to Callisky, one flying watch per aircraft separately costs about 10,000 dollars, taking into account the cost of re -supplying aircraft with fuel and ammunition, such as joint direct attack bombs (JDAM) and MK 84 heavy bombs.
For his part, Tsafi Exeches, who heads the Aaron Institute of Economic Policy at the University of Regement in Israel, said that the daily cost of the war on Iran is much more than the cost of the war in Gaza Strip Or on Hezbollah In Lebanon.

Engineers confirmed that the destruction that caused it Ballisti missiles The great Iranian is not similar to anything they have seen in The wars of Israel Over the past decades.
