Israel's economy shrinks more than expected on Gaza war
Its gross domestic product contracted by far more than expected in the wake of the conflict with Gaza.

The Central Bureau of Statistics said the war had sharply curtailed spending, travel and investment at the end of last year.
It said private spending dropped by 26.3%, exports fell by 18.3% and there had been a 67.8% slide in investment in fixed assets, especially in residential buildings. The construction sector suffered from a lack of labour, due to military call-ups and a reduction in Palestinian workers.
Meanwhile, government spending, mainly on war expenses and compensating businesses and households, jumped by 88.1%.
