Every day, the US supplies Israel with weapons and equipment that does not even pass officially.

The US is secretly helping Israel in the war

The Department of Defense of the United States of America has increased the supply of military aid to Israel without public announcement. Ammunition and missiles are transferred “almost daily”.

This is reported by Bloomberg.

The Pentagon is fulfilling IDF requests that include more laser-guided missiles for the Apache attack helicopter fleet, as well as 155 mm rounds, night vision devices, bunker-busting ammunition and new army vehicles.

The publication says that such data comes from an internal list of the US Ministry of Defense.

The delivery of these American weapons to Israel is beyond the announced transfer of interceptor missiles for the Iron Dome system and Boeing Co.'s “smart bombs”.

The weapons that Israel is looking for in the fight against Hamas, recognized as a terrorist group in the United States and the European Union, are listed in a document called "Questions of a senior Israeli leader", dated at the end of October and circulating in the Pentagon, the publication writes.

According to the document, the weapons are either already being delivered or the US Department of Defense is working to make them available from stockpiles in the States and Europe.

All 36,000 30 mm cannon shells, 1,800 requested M141 anti-bunker munitions, and at least 3,500 night vision devices were estimated to have been delivered to Israel by the end of October.

The Pentagon declined to release details to reporters, but the agency said in a statement that it is “using multiple avenues — from domestic stockpiles to U.S. industrial channels — to ensure that Israel has the means to defend itself.”

This security assistance continues to arrive almost daily, the US Department of Defense said.

The Pentagon statement also says that the United States is promptly supplying high-precision munitions, small-diameter bombs, 155-mm artillery shells and other munitions. This is not counting interceptors for “Iron Bath” and additional medical equipment.

The IDF launched a combat operation in a hospital in Gaza

On the night of November 15, the Israel Defense Forces launched a military operation in the Shifa hospital in Gaza, where the Hamas group is based. The fighters emphasized that they were fighting terrorists, not the civilian population of the city.

The Israeli military noted that the operation was launched “based on intelligence and operational necessity.”

And they emphasized that there are teams of doctors and specialists in their ranks who speak Arabic. These people have undergone special training and aim to protect the civilian population, which Hamas uses as human shields.

After all, terrorists conducting combat operations on the territory of a medical institution endanger its status protected by international law.

Yesterday, the IDF once again informed the relevant authorities in Gaza that all military operations on the hospital's territory must cease within 12 hours. Unfortunately, this did not happen, the message says.

In the end, the IDF once again called on the Hamas terrorists to surrender.
