Israel – The Israeli shekel exchange rate fell in early trading to its lowest level in a month, Wednesday, to 3.77 against the US dollar, following the announcement of the assassination of the head of the political bureau of the Palestinian factions movement, Ismail Haniyeh.
The Israeli army declined to comment on Haniyeh’s assassination, saying: “We do not comment on these reports.”
This was stated by an official in the army spokesman’s unit to an Anadolu Agency correspondent by phone on Wednesday morning, in response to a question about whether he confirmed that Haniyeh was killed in an Israeli attack in Tehran.
In early trading today, the shekel fell to 3.77 to the dollar, down from 3.75 shekels at the end of Tuesday’s session, according to data from the Bank of Israel and global exchange rate platforms.
The exchange rates recorded in early trading today are the lowest since the end of last June.
The recorded decline is an extension of another decline witnessed by the Israeli currency at the beginning of weekly trading, last Monday, after Israel announced that a missile fell on a stadium in Majdal Shams in the occupied Syrian Golan, killing 12 people, and accused the Lebanese factions movement of being responsible for it, while the latter denied it.
On Friday, the shekel closed the session at 3.65 to the dollar, before reaching 3.75 shekels/dollar in the first trading session after the Majdal Shams incident.
