 The US sends ammunition to Israel intended for Ukraine. The Pentagon plans to send tens of thousands of 155mm artillery shells to Israel from the emergency stockpile originally intended for Ukraine. The Axios portal published information about this concerning Israeli officials. The Pentagon plans to send Israel tens of thousands of 155mm artillery shells that had been destined for Ukraine from US emergency stocks several months ago, the report reads. It is reported that the sending of missiles will not directly affect the capabilities of the armed forces of Ukraine at the front. The Israeli military explains the urgent need for artillery shells with preparation for the land operation in Gaza and the possible escalation of the war by Hezbollah on the border with Lebanon. The American ammunition in question was stored in the territory of Israel as part of a bilateral agreement. Only US military personnel have access to the weapon's storage sites. But according to the agreement between the countries, Israel can use the ammunition in a war scenario in short order with US approval. Axios has explained Israel has already used up more than 8,000 precision munitions and with Hezbollah looming on its northern border and the war showing little sign of ending the government is eager to restock. Many of these same munitions are also key to American war plans in the Indo-Pacific and elsewhere and have been rushed to Ukraine over the past year.
