According to Khaberni, Noy Ozerd, a communications
engineer who also works in the field of music, was called up for service
following October 7th, posted a picture of his bank account on Facebook to
complain about his meager earnings, which amounted to 5,379 shekels (equivalent
to $1,400 US dollars).
Mockingly, he added, "10 shekels per
hour, 215 shekels per day, why don't we get our tax money!" His post
received significant attention.
The Israeli government allocated at least 1
billion shekels (260 million dollars) for payments and financial grants to
reserve soldiers. A financial grant of 280 dollars was allocated to unmarried
Israeli soldiers only once, while those with families received 500 dollars.
The Israeli Ministry of Finance recorded a
deficit of 6 billion dollars last month due to the increase in war expenses,
which reached 246 million dollars per day without accounting for indirect
losses.
