\r\n\tThe Israeli ministry of war ('Defense') has requested an extra 16-18 billion shekels ($4.6-5.2 billion) for 2014-2015, Globes reports Sunday, to cover costs from its brutal carnage against Gaza.
\r\n\t
\r\n\tSix to eight billion shekels ($1.7-2.3 billion) covers the cost of the operation itself, according to the report, as well as an additional 11 billion ($3.1 billion) for follow-up costs and rebuilding in 2015.
