The U.S. Army will double the amount of emergency military equipment it stockpiles in Israel.
Jerusalem and Washington agreed that Israel will keep $800 million worth of U.S. equipment, according to this week’s issue of the U.S. weekly Defense News publication, Haaretz reported.
Israel would be allowed to use the equipment in a military emergency, according to the report. The United States began stockpiling $100 million in military equipment in Israel in 1990, according to the report. Its current stock includes missiles, armored vehicles, aerial ammunition and artillery ordnance. — jta
