The United States secretly sends Israel additional ammunition, including missiles, supplies of shells for warships, bunker-busting ammunition, and more. This was reported on Tuesday by the American news network Bloomberg, citing sources familiar with the matter.

The weapons, the news network reports, as the U.S. Department of Defense says, arrive in the country on an "almost daily" basis.
Missiles, shells and armored vehicles
It was also reported that the supply of weapons to Israel is much broader than presented in the media and does not end with Iron Dome interceptors. Among other things, Bloomberg noted that the US also supplied Israel with laser-guided missiles from advanced fighter jets, as well as 155mm shells, night vision devices and new armored vehicles.
Bloomberg noted that the ammunition reaches Israel despite senior Biden administration officials warning of harm to innocent civilians in the Gaza Strip.
Meanwhile, last night there was another phone call between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Joe Biden. The White House said in a statement that "the president and prime minister discussed at length the ongoing efforts to secure the release of hostages held by Hamas, including many children and a number of Americans."
