Tel Aviv stocks erased morning losses and moved nearly 1% higher on Sunday in the first trading session since the start of a wave of missile strikes between Israel and Iran on Friday, as Israel and its economy attempt to remain as open as possible.

Hundreds of missiles were sent toward Israel, officials said, and several appeared to strike despite the country’s air defense systems. Interceptors also generated explosions near the ground as they fired to shoot missiles out of the sky. Sirens sounded across the entire country.
