Hamas Puts 500 Israeli Armored Vehicles Out

Over 500 Israel armored vehicles have been damaged in the war on Gaza ever since 7 October, 2023 according to a report in the Jewish daily Maariv.

It reports a “few dozen” of these have been destroyed. Depending which site you are following, one added most of these have been repaired, and no doubt put back into service.

As expected, the report is making headways on the social media with more comments likely in the following days.

According to Anadolu, the Israel military established two logistics centers in Gaza to repair vehicles damaged in its war with Hamas and the other Palestinian resistance movement.

It adds the Israeli report also says the troops responsible for transporting the vehicles are said to be physically and mentally fatigued,” adding: “If they are called upon to occupy southern Lebanon, they will be there, but not in their best condition.”

Border tensions between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon have increased over the past few weeks, with fears of an all-out war, the Turkish news agency adds, whilst maintaining that the Gaza war consumed far more weapons than the Israeli army expected, and usage remains high.

The supply of US weapons to Israel became a source of tension between the two allies after Netanyahu accused President Joe Biden of withholding weapons.
