Since October 7, Israeli authorities have processed numerous purchase orders, primarily from domestic manufacturers, totaling 6 billion shekels ($1.5 billion). The Ministry of Security disclosed that in the initial month of the war, the "Directorate of Defense Research and Development (DDR&D)", at the Israeli Ministry of Security, in conjunction with the technological infrastructure, dedicated more than 3 billion shekels for research, development, and armament, covering both "defensive" and offensive capabilities.

Additionally, the Operations and Logistics Division of the Ministry of Security rented approximately 8,500 vehicles, more than 4,000 buses, and over 2,000 trucks, tractors, and heavy machinery for the Israeli military.

Despite all this, the Palestinian Resistance demonstrates remarkable resilience, courage, and valor, with their locally produced weapons and capabilities. Meanwhile, the number of Israeli occupation soldiers killed in Operation Al-Aqsa Flood continues to rise, reaching more than 300, as the occupation fails to make headway in its invasion plans in Gaza.
