Israel’s war with Iran has cost the country more than $11.5 billion, according to the Israeli Ministry of Finance. Official estimates show that around $11.52 billion has been spent so far, with a significant portion allocated to defense expenses.
Reports indicate that over $7.25 billion has gone toward military costs, including weapons, flight operations, reserve troop deployment, and damages sustained during the conflict. The government has also approved an additional $2.3 billion to further support defense spending.
These figures are preliminary and already included in Israel’s 2026 budget. They do not account for future reconstruction costs or economic losses caused by partial shutdowns during the war.
Additionally, compensation payments between $3.8 and $4.2 billion are expected for citizens whose homes and businesses were affected.
