IDF prepares for major war - US sends aid
The IDF received thousands of tons of weapons from the US, including D9 bulldozers, JLTV armored vehicles, Humvees, and Oshkosh trucks. The unloading took place at the port of Haifa. Since the beginning of 2026, Israel has received over 115,600 tons of military equipment. The article also notes the military leadership's dissatisfaction with dependence on Washington and increased combat readiness amid signals of escalation around Iran.
Israel's Ministry of Defense, together with the IDF, has completed a major logistics operation to receive and unload American military equipment. At the port of Haifa, a ship was unloaded carrying thousands of tons of equipment, including heavy D9 bulldozers, JLTV armored vehicles, Humvees, and Oshkosh trucks. The delivery is another stage of a campaign that has been ongoing since 2025. Since the beginning of 2026, Israel has received over 115,600 tons of military equipment, which is officially called the largest logistics operation in the history of Israel-US defense cooperation. A large batch also arrived in late April 2026—about 6,500 tons. The article also mentions dissatisfaction within the Israeli military leadership over the excessive dependence of operational decisions on Washington's political stance, as well as an increased level of IDF combat readiness amid signals from Washington about a possible escalation around Iran. Donald Trump has again spoken about preparing large-scale strikes, but Israeli military officials and analysts do not rule out that this could be a diplomatic tactic.
