Israel's Defense Ministry said on Tuesday that 800 military cargo aircraft have landed in the country since the beginning of its 19-month offensive in Gaza, bringing more than 90,000 tons of equipment.



The shipments, the latest of which landed over the weekend, are aimed at supporting mainly the Israeli offensive in Gaza and its fighting in Lebanon and Syria.



In a statement, the ministry said the shipments, which included munitions, armored vehicles, personal protective gear, and medical supplies, were carried out in collaboration with its mission to the United States, and other parts of the Israeli military.



In addition to the air deliveries, around 140 cargo shipments have arrived by sea, the ministry said.



"This air and maritime transport operation constitutes a critical element in maintaining operational continuity, fulfilling comprehensive IDF (Israel Defense Forces) requirements for achieving wartime objectives, and enhancing force readiness," the ministry said.
