The US sent 6,500 tons of munitions and equipment to Israel within 24 hours as part of a massive logistics operation, according to The Jerusalem Post.

It is reported that two cargo ships docked at the ports of Ashdod and Haifa, transporting thousands of aerial and ground munitions, military trucks, and other military equipment.

In addition to large sea vessels for transporting weapons and equipment, the US also used several cargo aircraft.

Among the items transported: thousands of aerial and ground munitions, military trucks, Joint Light Tactical Vehicles (JLTVs), and additional military equipment.

The received shipments were transferred to Israel Defense Forces bases across the country as part of an operation at the port of Ashdod, led by the Director General of the Ministry of Defense, Major General (Res.) Amir Baram.

"The air and sea bridge remains the “central tool for building readiness as the security situation continues to develop," Tel Aviv stated.

Since the beginning of Operation Roaring Lion, Israel has received over 115,600 tons of military equipment via 403 air shipments and 10 sea shipments.

Israeli Defense Minister Katz stated that the country is ready at any moment to act against its enemies, on every front and anywhere.

"This expanding air and sea bridge directly strengthens the IDF’s capabilities and operational superiority," he added.

It is reported that the procurement and transport operations will continue to expand in the coming weeks.

On April 20, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised that the war in Iran was not yet over and hinted at further developments.

Earlier, it was also reported that the Mossad is preparing covert operations in Iran; one of the intelligence plans is to provoke a popular uprising to overthrow the regime of the Islamic state.

Regarding the US war in Iran, President Donald Trump has stated that America has already achieved victory. However, the nuclear threat from Tehran persists.
