For long, Israel has been seen as an oasis of stability in a volatile region. But the war in Gaza has come as a black swan event for Israel, which was holding up amid the global economic downturn. Thousands have lost their lives, properties and humans have been reduced to rubble, and the economy has taken a big hit. We also talk to Israeli economist Omer Moav for more perspective.

How the war against Hamas is shaping Israel's economy?

After Israel says it has cut Gaza into two parts, the big question arises- Who will control it? Netanyahu has made it clear that security control will remain with Israel in the future. But will Israel build what it destroyed? From Schools to hospitals- Will Israel construct these buildings back? What does the future look like for more than 2 million Gazans trapped in the enclave?

Will Israel control security in Gaza?

<p>A video posted by an Instagram account is being watched widely and being commented upon.</p>

<p>So it starts like this. The black-and-white visuals, apparently taken from a drone in the sky, show a soldier sitting in a vehicle. The vehicle looks like a tank but not quite.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In any case, you would expect the only person in any vehicle to firmly have it under control. But just a few seconds into the video, he jumps off the vehicle while it continues on its path. There is no initial clue as to why he jumped but to add to some initial amazement, the soldier keeps&nbsp;on running and running away from the vehicle without any apparent reason. He&nbsp;continues his run&nbsp;even after there's sufficient distance between him and the vehicle.</p>

<p>He runs and runs more as if his life depends&nbsp;on it. Takes shelter in what looks like the remains of a destroyed tank, all the while his ditched vehicle moves ahead without any incident.</p>
