The Cost of Genocide: Israel’s Actions in Gaza by the Numbers

Israel has spent over $113 billion on its war in Gaza since October 2023, resulting in the deaths of more than 75,000 Palestinians. The cost includes direct defense expenses, property tax compensation, civilian outlays, and interest payments. The former chief military economic adviser estimated that the war cost Israel $48 billion, with an average of 100 Palestinians killed daily. The expenditure on munitions is unclear, but significant funds have been allocated to purchasing arms. The wider impact on the Israeli economy includes maintaining a large number of military reservists and active-duty personnel. The US has provided Israel with $21.7 billion in military aid during this period.
