Tel Aviv stocks erased early losses and ended 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.

Israel expanded its surprise campaign against its main rival with a strike on the world's biggest gas field.

Israel unleashed airstrikes across Iran for a third day Sunday and threatened even greater force as some Iranian missiles evaded Israeli air defenses to strike buildings in the heart of the country.
