Arms embargo lifted: U.S. to begin significant arms shipments

Following the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, the US administration has begun to partially lift the arms embargo imposed on Israel during the months of the war, Israel Hayom reported.

Security sources reveal that a shipment of about 70 D9 bulldozers purchased by Israel about 10 months ago will soon be released. The bulldozers will be transferred as part of agreements reached with the outgoing and incoming US administrations as part of the hostage deal.

Security officials commented on the importance of the shipment, saying that "these heavy engineering tools play a critical role on the battlefield, as they can open traffic routes, pave roads for the fighting forces, and expose explosives."

Last November, it was reported that a huge shipment of no less than 134 D9 bulldozers, ordered and paid for by Israel, was stuck at Caterpillar's factories in the United States.
