The Defense Ministry announced on Thursday that the US had shipped 6,500 tons of munitions and military equipment to Israel in a mere 24-hour period using a mix of two large sea vessels and multiple cargo aircraft, The Jerusalem Post reported.
In a large-scale global logistics operation, the two cargo ships docked at the ports of Ashdod and Haifa, carrying thousands of air and ground munitions, military trucks, Joint Light Tactical Vehicles (JLTVs), and other military equipment, the ministry said.
According to the ministry, the air and sea bridge remains its “central tool for building readiness as the security situation continues to develop. Since the launch of Operation Roaring Lion, Israel has received over 115,600 tons of military equipment in 403 airlifts and 10 sealifts.”
