U.S. Military Airlift and Sealift Delivers 6,500 Tons of Munitions and JLTV Combat Vehicles to Israel as Iran War Resupply Intensifies

Apr 30, 2026·2 min read

A major U.S.-Israel military resupply operation moved into high gear as two cargo ships and several transport aircraft delivered roughly 6,500 tons of military equipment to Israel within 24 hours, including thousands of air and ground munitions, military trucks and JLTV combat mobility vehicles. The ships docked at Haifa and Ashdod, while the wider airlift continued through Ben Gurion Airport.

The Defense Ministry said the equipment was unloaded and moved by hundreds of trucks to IDF bases across the country, in a coordinated operation led by the ministry’s Defense Procurement Directorate, its International Shipping Division, the Israel Mission to the U.S. and the IDF Planning Directorate. Ministry Director General Maj. Gen. (res.) Amir Baram personally oversaw part of the operation at Ashdod Port.

The scale is the message. Since the launch of Operation Roaring Lion against Iran, Israel has received more than 115,600 tons of military equipment through 403 airlifts and 10 sealifts, according to the Defense Ministry. The latest shipment points to a deliberate effort to reload, harden readiness and preserve Israel’s ability to strike across multiple fronts if ordered.

Defense Minister Israel Katz said the goal is to ensure the IDF has everything it needs to return to full-strength operations “at any time and in any place required.” Baram said the procurement drive will continue and intensify in the coming weeks, signaling that Israel is preparing not only for the current phase of the Iran war, but for whatever comes next.
