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.
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 additional military equipment, said the ministry.
The operation was led by the ministry’s Defense Procurement Directorate (DPD) in coordination with its International Shipping Division, the ministry’s Mission to the United States, and the IDF’s Planning Directorate.
The equipment was loaded onto hundreds of trucks from the ministry’s Logistics and Assets Department and the IDF Technological and Logistics Directorate. It was then transferred to IDF bases throughout the country in an operation at the Port of Ashdod overseen by Defense Ministry Director-General Maj.-Gen. (res.) Amir Baram.
