Israel’s Ministry of Defense and the Israel Defense Forces welcomed the arrival of an additional cargo plane at Ramon Airport near Eilat in southern Israel on Friday morning.

The cargo consisted of a comprehensive array of military supplies, including military ambulances, medical equipment for IDF use and various other resources aimed at enhancing readiness capabilities for the war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, officially called “Operation Swords of Iron.”

It is the 45th aircraft to have landed in Israel as part of a coordinated initiative led by the Israel Defense Ministry and the IDF.

Roughly 1,000 tons of weaponry has been brought to Israel so far, encompassing a diverse range of armaments designed to bolster an IDF offensive that includes an expected ground invasion of Gaza.

“The level of artistry is very high among Israelis. It’s almost therapeutic,” Anis Modi, vice president of development at ChaiFlicks/Menemsha Films, tells JNS.
Gideon Sa’ar urged unity, and warned that violence in Judea and Samaria is damaging ties with Israel’s closest friends.
“Mamdani could not even give us one day to mourn without defaming the Jewish people and giving cover to our enemies,” Inna Vernikov, a Jewish member of the New York City Council, told JNS. “We will not let Mamdani and his radical pals rewrite Oct. 7.”
“The charging by the FBI of Haverford College associate professor Guangtian Ha for harassment and intimidation of a Jewish Israeli professor closes the dotted line between verbal acts of harassment and actionable violence which, when Jews are the recipients, is far too often ignored,” Lori Lowenthal Marcus of the Deborah Project told JNS.
