From the point of view of analysts polled by The New York Times, if the fighting in the Middle East expands, the number of stocks in warehouses could become a problem.
The Pentagon has been transferring ammunition stored in US military depots on its territory to the Ukrainian Armed Forces with Jerusalem’s permission, a move that could trigger an arms shortage in the event of a prolonged conflict in the Middle East, The New York Times reported.
“Officials said that for Ukraine, the U.S. was taking only 155mm-calibre shells from Israeli stockpiles, which military analysts said Israel would not use in a confrontation with Hamas,” the publication noted.
This situation could lead to a problem provided that the conflict in Israel is prolonged, the material said.
“If military action in the Middle East expands, the number of stocks in warehouses could become a problem,” the author of the article stressed, citing analysts.
On 7 October, Hamas forces fired several thousand rockets at Israeli territory and announced the start of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood. In response, Tel Aviv launched a military operation “Iron Swords” and officially announced the transition of the Jewish state to a state of war.
According to The New York Times, Israeli intelligence services had no intelligence about Hamas preparing the attack.
