Israel-Hamas war: first plane laden with US weapons has arrived: Israel military

The Israeli military has said that the first plane carrying armaments from the United States has arrived at the Nevatim Airbase in the southern part of the country.

The Israel Defence Forces added that the cooperation between our militaries is a key part of ensuring regional security and stability in times of war.

This comes as US President Joe Biden vowed to boost military assistance to help Israel fight Hamas.

Meanwhile, casualties rise in Gaza as Israel continues to pound the region with missiles.

Meanwhile, Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday held a telephone conversation with US President Biden for the third time.

“I told him (Biden) that Hamas is worse than ISIS – and that they should be treated that way,” posted Netanyahu on the social media platform, X, after the talks.

Biden reiterated that the “US stands by Israel” and “fully supports its right to defend itself,” the Israeli PM said while thanking him for “unreserved support”.
