Israel says it has received 200 cargo planes of military equipment
The Israeli Ministry of Defense says it has received a substantial supply of military equipment from various countries, amounting to 200 cargo planes, amid heightened scrutiny in its ongoing war against Hamas terrorists in Gaza.
Explaining further the magnitude of the military aid, the minstry added that over 10,000 tons of military equipment had been delivered since the initiation of the war on October 7.
According to the CNN, quoting sources, the military equipment already delivered included ammunition, armored vehicles, and weapons.
This disclosure comes at a critical juncture when the deployment of U.S-made weapons in the conflict has come under increased scrutiny.
The U.S State Department and the Defense Department have both indicated that they are reviewing an Amnesty International report, which has raised concerns about the potential use of U.S-manufactured weapons in Israeli airstrikes in Gaza.
The report specifically highlights the involvement of a U.S-made guidance system in two airstrikes in October that resulted in civilian casualties.
In a visual representation, images released by the Israeli Defense Ministry showcased various types of armored vehicles and pallets of supplies, providing a tangible glimpse into the extensive military support received.
While the Ministry acknowledged that the aid came from several countries, it refrained from divulging specific details regarding the nations involved or the proportion of aid originating from the United States.
It is noteworthy however that the shipments of U.S military aid commenced shortly after the commencement of the conflict.
The staggering supply of weapons to the Israeli government by Israel’s undisclosed allies has added layers of complexity to the geopolitical dynamics surrounding the Israeli-Hamas war in the Gaza Strip.
