According to Israeli officials cited by the newspaper, the shipment will include more than 3,000 munitions for the Israeli Air Force, aimed at supporting ongoing operations in Gaza. An additional 10,000 aerial munitions are expected to replenish Israel's stockpiles following 18 months of sustained combat across multiple fronts.
In February, the US government approved a $7.41 billion arms package for Israel, including precision-guided munitions and related equipment. The Pentagon’s Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) notified Congress that the deal was intended to maintain Israel’s defensive capabilities.
Under the agreement, Israel will use US military aid funds to purchase 3,000 Hellfire missiles valued at roughly $660 million, along with 2,166 AGM-114 guided bombs.
Delivery of the Hellfire missiles is scheduled to begin in 2028, with the other munitions expected to arrive starting in 2025.
In a formal statement, the Pentagon said the transfer would not alter the regional balance of power but would enhance Israel’s ability to defend its borders, critical infrastructure, and civilian population.
