The Bank of Israel has reported that the Gaza war and clashes with Yemen's Houthis, groups in Lebanon, and Iran since October 2023 have cost approximately $112 billion.
These conflicts have averaged a daily cost of $96 million, imposing a heavy burden on Israel's economy.
The wars have also seriously damaged Israel's global political and economic standing.
An RTA report citing the central bank detailed the $112 billion figure in its body text, though its headline referred to $122 billion in losses since 2023.

Reliability assessment
Single source provides direct attribution to statistics from the Central Bank of Israel with concrete figures (112 billion USD, 96 million/day) and timeframe (since October 2023).
The source language mixes facts with framing or advocacy wording. RTA: "Israeli regime" (repeated pejorative term implying illegitimacy); "heavy burden" (emotional framing of economic impact); "seriously damaged" (advocacy phrasing exaggerating global consequences).
