The price of the Gaza war: How much will Israelis pay for more soldiers?

he Finance Ministry released Wednesday an assessment of the economic cost of the various alternatives for increasing the IDF’s manpower. The study found that higher economic costs stemmed from additional reserve duty rather than from extended regular service.

The economic cost of drafting male soldiers for reserve duty is NIS 48,000 per person per month, and NIS 27,000 per person per month for male soldiers in regular service, according to the report.

For women, the most expensive age bracket is also the 40 to 45 age range, with a monthly per person cost of NIS 38,000. The least expensive is also the 22 to 30 age bracket with a monthly per person cost of NIS 27,000.
