(Worthy News) – Continuing its supply of military aid to Israel in its ongoing war against the Hamas Palestinian terror group, the US sent its 45th cargo plane of armaments to southern Israel’s Ramon airport at the weekend, All Israel News (AIN) reports.

Israel’s war against Hamas was launched after the terror group which rules the Gaza Strip conducted a massive surprise attack against Israeli civilians in southern Israel on October 7; 1400 mostly civilian Israelis were slaughtered in the attack, and more than 200, including women, children, and seniors were kidnapped to Gaza.

According to AIN, the US had delivered around 1,000 tons of diverse offensive and defensive armaments to Israel so far. The 45th cargo plane which arrived in Israel on Friday also brought military ambulances, medical equipment for Israeli forces, and other resources to improve preparedness.

“The delivery is part of a large-scale procurement operation led by the Israeli Defense Ministry’s Directorate of Production and Procurement (DOPP) and the U.S. Procurement Mission, intended to bolster the IDF’s fleet of vehicles in order to address a range of operational scenarios,” AIN explained in its report.

“The director-general of Israel’s Ministry of Defense, Maj.-Gen. (res.) Eyal Zamir, authorized procurement orders amounting to over NIS 400 million (about $98.5 million) from both within Israel and internationally,” AIN said.
