Israel estimates $3 billion in economic damage from its 12-day war with Iran, calling it the most extensive destruction in its history. The figure excludes military costs, which could push the total to $12 billion, according to Finance Minister Smotrich. The war disrupted daily life, destroyed key infrastructure, and shuttered businesses. While the Bank of Israel still forecasts 3.5% growth this year, experts warn the conflict's aftermath could slow recovery. A ceasefire brokered by U.S. President Trump ended the fighting after nearly two weeks of missile attacks.
