US Keeps Sending Weapons to Israel As Gaza Massacre Continues
The United States has sent 230 cargo planes and 20 ships loaded with weapons and military equipment to Israel since the outbreak of the Gaza conflict on Oct. 7, according to Israeli media on Monday.
The US military assistance includes artillery shells, armored vehicles and basic combat tools for soldiers, Yediot Ahronoth newspaper reported.
The Israeli regime’s defense ministry estimates the cost of the current war on the Gaza Strip at around 65 billion shekels ($17 billion).
The newspaper, citing a defense ministry official, said the army had used most of the ammunition in its warehouses at the beginning of the war.
“But Israel managed to re-fill its warehouses in preparation for a possible large-scale war with the Lebanese Hezbollah group,” it added.
At least 489 Israeli soldiers have been killed in clashes with Palestinian fighters in the Gaza Strip since Oct. 7, according to Israeli military figures.
Israel has pounded the Gaza Strip since the Al-Aqsa Flood Operation launched by the Palestinian resistance group Hamas on Oct. 7.
