Tel Aviv, August 28 (RHC)-- The Israeli military has revealed that the United States has sent over 50,000 tons of arms and military equipment to Israel since October 7th last year.

The weapons have arrived in more than 500 transport planes and over 100 ships — an average of almost two arms shipments a day for the past 10 months, during which time Israel has killed over 40,400 Palestinians, including 20 Palestinians early Tuesday morning.

According to Israeli sources, the military equipment delivered to Tel Aviv since the beginning of the genocide { which, of course, they do not call a 'genocide' ] includes “armored vehicles, munitions, ammunition, personal protection gear and medical equipment."

They claim that the deliveries are “crucial for sustaining the IDF’s operational capabilities during the ongoing war.”

The “large-scale logistical effort” has been carried out by the ministry’s Directorate of Production and Procurement, the ministry’s mission to the U.S., the IDF’s Planning Directorate, and the Israeli Air Force.

Washington has continued to provide Israel with arms despite calls from around the world to stop supplying the country with arms amid the rising death toll reports coming out of Gaza.

U.S. President Joe Biden has continued to support U.S. aid for Israel and said in April, after signing a $17 billion aid package for Israel into law, that he would make sure that Israel has what it needs to -- as they say -- "defend itself" against Iran and attacks from its 'enemies.'

However, after he stepped down from the 2024 presidential race, many questioned whether the new Democratic candidate, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, would follow the same policy.

Earlier this month, Harris’s campaign issued a statement echoing Biden’s commitment to -- what they call -- "making sure Israel has what it needs to stay secure."

During her speech accepting the Democratic Party’s nomination for president, Harris said: “I will always stand up for Israel’s right to defend itself, and I will always ensure Israel has the ability to defend itself.”
