PNN – Initial assessments by Hebrew media indicate that the recent conflict between the Israeli regime and Iran has cost the country about $171 million so far, and there is a possibility that this figure will increase.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network; Initial assessments by the Israeli security establishment indicate that the recent military conflict with the Islamic Republic of Iran, which began on Sunday and whose consequences are still ongoing, has cost about 500 million shekels so far.
The Israel Hayom newspaper wrote that this assessment is not complete and that there is a possibility that the costs will increase as the assessment of damages and costs related to the military operations is completed.
The newspaper noted that some informed sources emphasized that this data is preliminary and cautious; therefore, it is too early to assess the final cost of the recent conflict with Iran or to determine whether things are moving towards calm or not.
Some parties in the Israeli Finance Ministry also criticized the management of the security budget, saying that the current figures again show the difficulty the army has in controlling its expenses, despite its budget of around 200 billion shekels and expected to remain high in the coming years.
According to informed sources, the security budget is facing a large deficit and, despite ongoing communication with the Finance Ministry, the gaps between the army and the ministry remain large.
