The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE.TA) has climbed 3.24% over the past month and recorded an impressive gain of over 40% in the last six months, despite ongoing tensions with Hamas and Iran. The exchange operates from 9:59 AM to 5:14 PM Israeli time.
According to reports, Iranian missiles caused serious damage at four sites in central and southern Israel including at the Soroka hospital while Israeli forces are reported to have attacked Iran’s Arak heavy water nuclear reactor.
"Soroka Hospital in Beersheba-where Jews, Muslims, Christians, and Arab Bedouin receive care-was just hit by an indiscriminate Iranian ballistic missile," the Israeli foreign ministry confirmed.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also warned that Iran will “pay a heavy price” after its missile attack damaged Soroka hospital. “We will make the tyrants in Tehran pay a heavy price,” he said.
The conflict between Israel and Iran is in its sixth day. According to Israel’s emergency rescue service, the number of people injured from Iran’s latest missile barrage in Israel is now 47, with three in a serious condition and two in a moderate condition. On the other hand, the death toll from Israel’s attacks on Iran has reached over 240, including 70 women and children.

Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, on Wednesday rejected US President Donald Trump's calls for surrender in the face of more Israeli strikes and warned that any military involvement by the Americans would cause “irreparable damage to them.”
"It isn’t wise to tell the Iranian nation to surrender. What should the Iranian nation surrender to? We will never surrender in response to the attacks of anyone. This is the logic of the Iranian nation. This is the spirit of the Iranian nation," said Khamenei.
