Isn'treal may be reaching a breaking point, at least in terms of its ability to escalate further

...total losses incurred by the Israeli economy amount to a whopping $6 billion since October 7, 2023.

When comparing the median cost of reservists to that of regular troops, a huge gap in costs arises, as an individual from the former group costs "Israel" an average of $13,000 while the latter costs $7,500.

the economic cost of extending the service of reservists is much higher than that of extending the service of reservists,

typo?

"The precise cost cannot be made public because it is necessary to preserve the Israeli army's power system," Abarmzon explained.

So $6 billion is an underestimate?
