Hebrew media sources reported, on Monday, that the US sortes military equipment worth U.S. $800 million in Israel, noting that this quantity will increase soon reaching $1.2 billion.
The Hebrew TV Channel2 said, citing a report issued by the U.S. Defense Ministry, the US ordnance, including missiles, armored vehicles and artillery ammunition, is allowed to be used by Israel in the event of a military emergency.
The storage of military equipment came within the strategic partnership between the two countries which began early nineties. The report revealed that during the Second Lebanon War in 2006, US allowed Israel to access its military emergency stores.
It is noted that the US began stockpiling $100 million in military equipment in Israel in 1990, then it increased to $800 in 2010, and it is predicted to reach $1.2 billion in the coming years.
