The US is holding up a shipment of armored bulldozers purchased by Israel for its military, the Ynet news site reports.
According to the report, Israel paid for the 134 Caterpillar D9 bulldozers months ago but is still awaiting an export permit from the US State Department.
Ynet attributes the delay to protests in the US over the use of such bulldozers to destroy homes in the Gaza Strip, which the IDF says are used by Hamas.
There is no immediate comment from US officials on the report.
