The United States reportedly delivered around 6,500 tons of weapons and military equipment to Israel within 24 hours, in a large-scale logistics operation involving sea and air transport.
The Jerusalem Post reported on Thursday, April 30, citing Israel’s Defense Ministry, that the shipment included thousands of air and ground munitions, military trucks, and other equipment.

Two cargo ships docked at the Port of Ashdod and the Port of Haifa, while additional supplies were transported by cargo aircraft.
The operation was coordinated between Israel’s Defense Ministry and Washington, with equipment distributed to Israeli military bases across the country.
According to the ministry, Israel has received more than 115,600 tons of military equipment through over 400 airlifts and multiple sea deliveries since the start of its ongoing conflict with Iran.
Israeli Defense Ministry Director-General Maj.-Gen. (res.) Amir Baram, who’s in charge of the Ashdod port, said the continued flow of weapons would “continue to expand in the weeks ahead.”
The update comes ahead of a looming 60-day deadline for US President Donald Trump, as the 1973 War Powers Resolution requires presidents to withdraw troops within 60 days of notifying Congress unless lawmakers authorize the action – which they have not done.
However, the Trump administration had argued that the ongoing ceasefire reached weeks earlier effectively nullifies the 60-day countdown, according to CNBC.
