The Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported that the Israeli army failed to achieve the goals of the war on the Gaza Strip despite entering its fourth month, amid a record economic cost of nearly 60 billion dollars.

This came in an extensive report by the newspaper under the title, “The most costly war and Israel’s goals that have not yet been achieved. A picture of the situation after 3 months.”

The report said that according to updated figures, the cost of the war has already risen to about 217 billion shekels ($59.35 billion), and the cost includes both the army’s combat budget and extensive aid to the economy in all areas.

The report indicated that the cost of the Israeli army's combat day last October, including the recruitment of 360,000 reserve soldiers at the beginning of the war, amounted to one billion shekels ($270.35 million).

He added that due to the mass demobilization of tens of thousands of soldiers in recent days, the cost currently amounts to 600 million shekels ($164.11 million) per day.

The Israeli army continued to pay an amount of 300 shekels ($82) daily, and will continue until the end of 2024, for every reservist soldier recruited, noting that these payments alone have so far reached about 9 billion shekels ($2.46 billion).

At the civil level, compensation already amounts to tens of billions of shekels, and the state is expected to pay companies affected by the activity cycles in the first three months of this year about 10 billion shekels ($2.74 billion).

According to estimates, the value of the damage to property in the border settlements with Lebanon amounts to between 5 and 7 billion shekels ($1.37-1.91 billion), in addition to between 15 and 20 billion shekels ($4.10 and 5.47 billion), the initial value of the damage to property in Gaza enveloping settlements.
