26 Aug 2024 – Five hundred transport planes and 107 ships have delivered more than 50,000 tons of armaments and military equipment from the United States to Israel since the start of the war [genocide], the Defense Ministry says.
The military equipment delivered to Israel since the beginning of the atrocities includes “armored vehicles, munitions, ammunition, personal protection gear, and medical equipment,” according to the ministry.
The deliveries are “crucial for sustaining the IDF’s operational capabilities during the ongoing war [genocide].”
The “large-scale logistical effort” has been carried out by the ministry’s Directorate of Production and Procurement, the ministry’s mission to the US, the IDF’s Planning Directorate, and the Israeli Air Force.
