American networks report preparations for a large-scale weapons shipment from the United States directly to Israel, involving dozens of supply flights by the U.S. Air Force. Recently, sources close to the White House and the Pentagon shared with media outlets in the U.S. that the Department of Defense, along with the White House and the U.S. Air Force, are finalizing preparations for a significant and intensive weapons delivery directly to Israel.
According to reports, there is a growing sense within the Pentagon and the White House that diplomatic efforts to prevent escalation on the northern border are yielding diminishing results daily, and that there is a need to equip Israel with substantial amounts of munitions to deter Hezbollah and bring it to the negotiating table. Informed sources revealed that this is a major operation expected to last for days and even weeks, during which the U.S. Air Force will conduct dozens of flights to Israel. The shipments are expected to include a wide range of air defence systems, interceptors, guided munitions, precision-guided missiles for aircraft, artillery shells, tank shells, and even air-to-air missiles. Sources close to the Biden administration reported that the outgoing president views this not as "preparation for war but as a reinforcement of Israel to deter war."
