JERUSALEM, Sept. 15 (Xinhua) -- Israel's 12-month inflation rate rose to 3.6 percent in August, up from 3.2 percent in July, according to data released by the country's Central Bureau of Statistics on Sunday.
The new figure, the highest in 10 months, further surpassed the government's annual target range of 1 to 3 percent, following the previous month's breach of the upper boundary for the first time since November last year.
