The "Tel Aviv" stock exchange plunged by 2.3 percent on Sunday as a result of the deteriorating security situation the entity is witnessing following the start of the Al-Aqsa Flood operation on October 7.

During the past week, the exchange market fell by 7 percent as investors grew more concerned about the ongoing confrontations with the Resistance in Gaza and the continued targeting of "Tel Aviv," which is considered "Israel's financial capital."

In an attempt to tackle the deteriorating situation, Israeli media reported that banks may consider raising interest rates if there is an upsurge in inflation subsequent to these events.

Earlier this week, and for the first time, the Bank of Israel announced plans to sell foreign currencies worth 30 billion dollars and provide dollar liquidity to local lenders. This measure followed a steep decline in the value of the Shekel.

However, the Shekel continued to fall despite the direct intervention - which is the first intervention in around two years, in addition to being the first time ever the central bank is selling dollars.
