According to data from the Shebaa Company, director of the national credit card payment system, it appears that today there was a 6.51 percent decrease in expenses incurred by Israelis using credit cards between the hours of 7:00 and 15:00 compared to last Sunday. Leumit credit card expenses in the total amount of NIS 816.3 million, which is NIS 56.9 million lower than that recorded on the previous Sunday in those hours and stood at NIS 873.2 million.
A senior member of the fast food chain told Israel Today that in Bnei Brak the impact was felt as a result of the funeral, but we also felt it in the malls in Tel Aviv with a 30 to 40 percent drop in revenue. This is because of the intimidation campaign, people did not leave home in Bat Yam".

Shai Berman, general manager of the restaurant association, said that there was a drastic decline in the restaurant industry.
In more urban restaurants, the damage was less but still significant. "
The OntoPo website also describes a significant drop in orders.
According to CEO Danny Glickman: "Following the announcement of roadblocks and warnings about the expected heavy loads, we saw that there was a 70 percent decrease in restaurant reservations compared to last week."
Naturally, the field of entertainment is also damaged.
According to Alex Kaplan, marketing manager at the Dizengoff Center mall: "After Purim recorded entry numbers of about 100,000 people on activity days, today there was a 25 percent decrease in the number of visitors compared to other Sundays. This is the weakest day since early March and we attribute this to the fact "That the public obeyed the police's instructions and refrained from reaching Gush Dan. In our estimation, tomorrow the trend will change and the number of visitors will return to normal."
