Thousands of tons of military equipment, including vehicles for use by the ground forces, recently arrived in Israel on a cargo ship, the Defense Ministry announces.
The ministry says it has completed unloading the cargo ship at Haifa Port. The equipment will then be delivered to the IDF.
The shipment included D9 bulldozers, Humvees, JLTV armored vehicles, Oshkosh trucks, and other equipment “intended to strengthen the operational readiness and continuity of ground forces,” the ministry says.
