Israel’s economy has been tested by crises and war. But what the small Mediterranean state has been going through since the terrorist attack by Hamas on October 7, 2023 and the subsequent escalation in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon is new even for Israeli conditions. Previous military operations usually only lasted days or a few weeks. Hundreds of thousands of reservists have now been called up over many months and have had to give up their jobs, parts of the country are practically uninhabitable due to constant rocket attacks, numerous flight connections to the world have been canceled and supply chains have been disrupted.
