The media claims that high costs limit the Israel Defense Forces' ability to sustain prolonged combat.

The American "Wall Street Journal" estimated on the 19th that the military conflict between Israel and Iran is costing Israel hundreds of millions of dollars per day, limiting its ability to fight a prolonged war. The "Wall Street Journal" cited analysts as saying that in this conflict, Israel's largest single cost comes from intercepting missiles from Iran, with this expense alone reaching tens of millions to 200 million dollars per day. In addition, ammunition and aircraft also add to the costs. Considering the unprecedented destruction of Israeli buildings, post-war reconstruction or repair may still cost the country at least 400 million dollars.
