Israel Asks US for More Ammunition as Tension With Iran Rises.

Israel has requested more tank ammunition and tactical vehicles from the US as tensions rise with Iran and amid the ongoing conflict in Gaza, according to anonymous sources. The request, which has not yet been evaluated by the US administration, is reportedly for $1 billion worth of ammunition, vehicles, and mortar rounds. President Joe Biden has expressed unwavering support for Israel's defense, but has faced criticism for not doing enough to mitigate the severity of Israel's counteroffensive in Gaza. The request for additional military aid is separate from the $95 billion funding supplemental request currently being considered by Congress. [Extracted from the article]
