The US has delivered over 50,000 tons of military equipment to Israel just over the past 10 months. by Sharon Zhang, Truthout, August 27, 2024 https://truthout.org/articles/us-has-sent-israel-over-600-weapons-shipments-since-october/
The U.S. has sent nearly two shipments of weapons to Israel on average every day since it began its genocide in Gaza on October 7, according to new figures from the Israeli military. The Israeli military announced that it received its 500th shipment of weapons from the U.S. via aircraft on Monday since October 7, through the countries’ airlift partnership. The U.S. has also sent over 100 shipments of equipment by sea. This represents over 50,000 tons of military equipment, the military said, or over 150 tons of equipment per day as Israel relentlessly slaughters Palestinians and their children in Gaza and the occupied West Bank. This includes equipment like armored vehicles, munitions and ammunition. The latest figures are yet another show of the astonishing amount of weapons sent by the Biden administration to aid in Israel’s genocide. The U.S. has sent Israel billions in military assistance and funding to procure U.S.-made weapons; just last week, the U.S. approved a whopping $20 billion sale of weapons to Israel as it threatens war across the Middle East. U.S. officials are risking being prosecuted for war crimes and even for genocide by allowing the steady flow of weapons to Israel, experts have said. Israel has used U.S. weapons to carry out countless attacks on Palestinians that experts say are war crimes. Experts have also noted that U.S. officials are flouting domestic law on human rights in order to send Israel more weapons. . . . ‘Armored Vehicles, Ammunition’ – 500th US Military Supply Plane Lands in Israel Palestine Chronicle, August 27 https://www.palestinechronicle.com/armored-vehicles-ammunition-500th-us-military-supply-plane-lands-in-israel/ . . .
