Israel would have struggled to maintain Gaza war without US support: Report

A senior Israeli air force told Haaretz that US supplies of weapons, especially to the air force, are the main reason Israel has been able to keep the war on Gaza going.

Without American support, the official says Israel would have struggled to sustain its war for more than a few months.

The air force is now crafting a recommendation to increase the local production of bombs, missiles and other ammunition to reduce dependence on other countries, particularly the US.
