The Israeli Ministry of Defense said on Thursday that it had received a cargo plane from the United States carrying the first shipment of armored vehicles.

The ministry added, via the “X” platform, that these vehicles are being transferred to the Israeli army to replace vehicles damaged during the war on the Gaza Strip, according to the Arab World News Agency.

The Israeli Ministry of Defense had previously announced the arrival of more than one shipment of aid, military equipment, and ammunition to Israel.

Although the expected ground attack on the Gaza Strip had not begun, Palestinian factions published video clips on Saturday, October 7, of their destruction of a number of Israeli vehicles on the borders of the Strip with anti-armor shells and bombs from drones, in addition to other scenes of their control of military camps.
