Gaza op costs Israel NIS 15 million a day

Operation Protective Edge’s logistical demands cost Israel NIS 15 million ($4.3 million) per day, Israel Radio reports. The total stands at NIS 420 million ($121 million).

The figure does not include spare parts, ammunition, or compensation to reserves.

Armored vehicles and planes used up twice as much fuel as they did during the eight-day Operation Pillar of Defense in 2012.
