As the third anniversary of the October 7th attacks approaches, Israel's Tax Authority has reported disbursing approximately 38 billion shekels in compensation for war-related damages. This includes about 8.3 billion shekels for direct property damage and an additional 30 billion shekels for indirect economic losses to businesses. The state has processed around 168,000 claims for direct damage and one million claims for indirect damage since the conflict began.
The compensation was distributed across three military operations: "Swords of Iron," "With the Lion," and "Roar of the Lion." Direct damage claims covered physical harm to structures, vehicles, and property, as well as loss of rental income for damaged buildings. Hotels also received compensation for temporarily housing evacuees during the "Roar of the Lion" operation.
Indirect damage payments were made to businesses experiencing financial losses due to the security situation. These were handled through various tracks, including a nationwide program, specialized "green" tracks for businesses in severely affected regions and sectors, and a "red" track for businesses in Gaza border communities and northern conflict zones. Businesses that suffered direct damage also received compensation for subsequent indirect economic harm during the "Roar of the Lion" operation.
