Report says more than 500 Israeli armored vehicles

Tel Aviv, July 1 (RHC)-- More than 500 Israeli armored vehicles have been damaged in the regime’s genocidal war against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, according to Israeli media.

Israel’s Hebrew-language Maariv daily newspaper made the announcement in a report over the weekend and said dozens of Israeli armored vehicles had also been completely decommissioned and removed from service.  The report added that the Israeli military had established two logistics centers within Gaza to repair the vehicles damaged in fighting with the Palestinian resistance groups.

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other members of his cabinet are said to have been receiving weekly updates on the status of military stocks as the regime’s brutal war on Gaza has consumed far more weapons than the Israeli occupation army had expected.

Citing an unnamed senior official of U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday that the United States has provided $6.5 billion in security assistance to Israel since the occupying regime launched its genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.  The report said almost half of the amount was provided last month alone.

Netanyahu had earlier claimed that the Biden administration was “withholding” weapons and ammunition bound for Tel Aviv.  The United States has been providing the regime with thousands of tons of military equipment since Tel Aviv launched the war in October last year.

An Israeli report says military disability count surpasses 70,000 for the first time.  Israel launched its brutal Gaza onslaught on October 7, 2023, following a historic operation by the Palestinian Hamas resistance group against the usurping entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.

However, almost nine months into the offensive, the Tel Aviv regime has failed to achieve its objectives in Gaza despite killing at least 37,765 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injuring 86,429 others.

The Israeli ministry of military affairs revealed in a recent report the number of disabled Israeli soldiers has surpassed the 70,000 mark for the first time, adding that 8,663 troops have also been injured since the start of the war on Gaza.
