Exchange rate fell sharply following Hamas attack on October 7
The Bank of Israel (BoI) will carry out a $30 billion foreign exchange intervention programme to stabilise the shekel, it announced today (October 9).

The shekel depreciated by 2% today, following the major attack launched on the country by the Islamist group Hamas from Gaza on October 7. Israeli authorities have confirmed over 700 civilians and troops have been killed.
