The five-week war with Iran has cost Israel an estimated $11.5 billion dollars, the Israeli finance ministry said on Sunday, providing the first evaluation of the price tag Israelis will pay for the conflict. Most of the money — about $7.2 billion — went to fund military operations, such as munitions and paying the many reserve soldiers who were called up, the ministry said. The rest went to compensating people for damaged buildings, missed days of work, helping local governments provide better shelters, among other costs.
