Israel sends Hezbollah-seized weapons to Ukraine, US aircrafts transport

Shafaq News/ Israel, on Tuesday, hasbegun transferring a significant shipment of weapons seized during its recentconflict with Hezbollah to Ukraine, according to Israeli media reports.

Ukrainian and Israeli sourcesindicate that US Air Force aircrafts were used to transport the weapons fromIsrael to Poland before they were shipped to Ukraine.

    The Israeli military had announcedduring recent operations in southern Lebanon that it had discovered largestockpiles of Russian and Iranian weapons in Hezbollah's possession.

    Ukrainian Ambassador to Israel,Yevhen Korniychuk, revealed days ago that Israel had offered to transferRussian-made weapons it had seized from Lebanon and Gaza to Ukraine.

    Among the weapons transferred toUkraine are anti-tank guided missile launchers, RPGs, advanced heat-seekingmissiles, mobile surface-to-air missile systems, along with large quantities ofammunition and other military equipment.

    Reports suggest that the decision tosend these weapons to Ukraine came after they were initially slated fordestruction. However, Israel ultimately opted to provide them to supportUkraine’s armed forces in their fight against Russia.

    This move marks a significant shiftin Israeli policy. Since the start of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Israel hascondemned Moscow's actions but refrained from joining Western sanctions againstRussia and refused to supply weapons to Kyiv. Israeli Prime Minister BenjaminNetanyahu had also backed away from offering Kyiv the Iron Dome air defensesystem.

    Israeli military expert Yigal Levintold the report that over 85,000 units of weapons and military equipment seizedby Israel from southern Lebanon had been transferred to Ukraine. This includes6,840 anti-tank missile launchers, 9,000 explosives, 2,250 missiles andartillery shells, 2,700 small arms, and 2,860 pieces of various military gear.

    This transfer highlights the growingalliance between Israel and Ukraine amid widespread Western support for Kyiv inits war with Russia. It also underscores the growing Israeli-American militarycooperation, with Washington playing a crucial logistical role in the weaponstransfer.
