Israel sold $8 billion of international bonds, the nation’s first such transaction in public markets since the war erupted with Hamas — and its biggest sale of dollar notes on record.
The government issued $2 billion of notes due in five years, $3 billion bonds maturing in 10 years and $3 billion notes due in 30 years, according to people familiar with the matter. They asked not to be identified because they’re not authorized to speak about it.
