Occupied Quds - Saba:
The Zionist newspaper "Yedioth Ahronoth" revealed on Friday that the costs of the Zionist war of extermination on the Gaza Strip amounted to $42 billion, at a rate of $83.8 million per day.
The newspaper said: "The costs of the Iron Swords War amounted to 150 billion shekels ($42 billion) until mid-January, according to the precise economic monitoring conducted by the office of the financial advisor to the Chief of Staff and head of the budget department in the Ministry of Defense, Brigadier General Gil Pinhas."
It added: "The average daily cost of the war on Gaza amounted to about 300 million shekels ($83.8 million)."
It added: "There are large gaps between the cost of fighting in Lebanon, 30 billion shekels ($8.3 billion), and in the Gaza Strip, as well as between the days of intense fighting."
She said: "One night of defending the skies of "Israel" with the help of the international coalition against the Iranian missile attack cost us one billion shekels ($279 million)."
In early October 2024, Iran launched more than 180 missiles at the Zionist entity, in an attack that Tehran said was "revenge" for the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, head of the political bureau of Hamas, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary-General of Hezbollah, and Revolutionary Guards commander Abbas Nilforoushan.
Yedioth Ahronoth considered that "the heaviest item in defense spending is funding the reserve army, which amounted to 45 billion shekels ($12.5 billion)."
With American support, the Zionist enemy committed genocide in Gaza between October 7, 2023 and January 19, 2025, leaving more than 159,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 14,000 missing.
While a ceasefire agreement ended on November 27 2024, mutual shelling between the Zionist enemy army and Hezbollah began on October 8, 2023, and turned into a large-scale war on September 23.
As a result of the war, the Zionist enemy evacuated tens of thousands of residents of settlements around the Gaza Strip and the north of the occupied entity, where they have been living since then in hotels and guest houses at the expense of the Zionist government.
The enemy also spent huge sums of money on armament operations and the purchase of bombs and suffered economic losses as a result of the war on Gaza and Lebanon.
