Military spending has ballooned, and growth has stalled, especially in dangerous border areas that were evacuated.
Economists say the country could face declining investment and higher taxes as the war strains government budgets and forces tough choices between social programs and the military.
Military spending as a percentage of annual economic output was 5.3% , compared with 3.4% for the United States and 1.5% for Germany .
Israel 's economy rebounded quickly from a 2006 war with Hezbollah in southern Lebanon .
Before the war, U.S. military aid to Israel amounted to around $3.8 billion per year.
That comes to roughly 14% of Israel ’s prewar military spending.
Since the war in Gaza began, the United States has spent a record of at least $17.9 billion on military aid.
