Occupied al-Quds – Saba:
The Israeli Entity Ministry of Defense received a shipment from the United States on Wednesday, including dozens of D9 bulldozers, after months of delays.
Dozens of video clips released by Israeli enemy soldiers since the beginning of the genocidal crime in the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, have shown the use of these bulldozers in demolishing Palestinian homes and buildings in the Strip.
The Israeli Enemy Ministry of Defense said in a statement, a copy of which was obtained by Anadolu Agency: "A shipment of D9 bulldozers from the United States arrived in "Israel" today, released by the US government."
It added: "The shipment, which includes dozens of D9 bulldozers and additional equipment for Israeli ground forces, was received and unloaded this morning."
According to Hebrew media, the administration of former US President Joe Biden informed the Israeli government of the suspension of the shipment of D9 bulldozers due to their use by the Israeli army to demolish homes in Gaza. However, upon taking office, US President Donald Trump reversed several measures taken by the previous administration to limit arms sales to Israel.
Last Tuesday, the Hebrew newspaper Haaretz revealed US documents indicating that Washington spends hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid to Israel.
Israeli entity also receives $3.8 billion annually in aid from Washington under a memorandum of understanding signed with the administration of former President Barack Obama, covering the period from 2019 to 2028.
The Israeli Enemy Defense Ministry says that since October 7, 2023, 870 cargo planes and 144 ships have transported more than 100,000 tons of ammunition and military equipment to the occupied land, most of it from the United States, according to the Hebrew newspaper The Times of Israel.
With American and European support, the Israeli enemy army has continued to commit genocidal crimes in the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, resulting in the martyrdom of 57,680 Palestinian civilians, the majority of whom were children and women, and the injury of 137,409 others, as of Wednesday, in a preliminary toll.
Thousands of victims remain under the rubble and on the streets, unable to be reached by ambulances and rescue crews.
