This staggering figure highlights the immense financial pressure Israel is under, with war expenses estimated at NIS 200-250 billion. Experts are warning that the prolonged conflict is similar to a "second war of independence," and unlike past wars, there is no end in sight. The growing cost of the war impacts every sector of Israeli society, but the hardest hit are the most vulnerable—families who have been displaced, the elderly, and Holocaust survivors. With military expenses rising, the economic toll is being felt by those who are already struggling to make ends meet. Inflation continues to rise, and the potential for a recession looms large, further threatening the livelihoods of countless people.
