Deep dives
Israeli military takes out four senior Hamas commanders
The Israeli military successfully eliminated four senior Hamas commanders in undisclosed attacks. The operation was based on intel provided by Israel's military and internal intelligence agencies. The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) soldiers have also been engaged in a ground operation in Tagazah, where they have neutralized attacking squads and destroyed terrorist infrastructure. Additionally, an Israeli soldier who was captured by Hamas has been rescued and is now with her family.
Potential impact of Israel-Hamas conflict on oil prices
If the conflict between Israel and Hamas escalates, there could be significant effects on oil prices and subsequently on food prices, according to a World Bank report. In a worst-case scenario, where there is a large disruption akin to the 1973 Arab oil embargo, the report projects a possible 56% spike in oil prices, leading to a range of $140 to $157 per barrel. The report also outlines smaller disruption scenarios and their respective impacts on oil production and prices.
