The ongoing war on Gaza and confrontations with the Lebanese Resistance on the northern front has caused a shortage of ammunition and supplies within the Israeli occupation forces' arsenal, Israeli broadcaster Kan reported on Friday. 

This situation has prompted representatives of "Israel" to visit the American State and Defense Departments to seek "US assistance in providing aid to the [defense] sector, particularly in terms of weapons and ammunition," as reported by the channel's military affairs correspondent, Carmela Menashe.

Menashe explained that the Israeli occupation is economizing on ammunition due to the shortage it is facing, adding that this is "part of the issues the security and military establishment is facing today."

In the same context, the Israeli correspondent mentioned that the United States has "significant difficulty in approving Israel's requests for ammunition."

Recently, the occupation's military has begun to deploy older armored vehicles, including tanks and armored personnel carriers, as round-the-clock production in dependent factories faces trouble in meeting the demands of the genocidal war on Gaza and the aggression on Lebanon.

Menashe said that the occupation is "not adequately prepared" to take on its presumed plans.

It is worth noting that Israeli outlets have expressed concerns about ammunition shortages since the beginning of the war, and occupation soldiers have repeatedly complained about equipment shortages and low readiness.

Contributing to the ammunition crisis for the occupation is the naval blockade imposed by the Yemeni Armed Forces on vessels heading to Israeli-occupied ports through the Red Sea, according to occupied Haifa's former deputy mayor, Nahshon Tzuk.

Tzuk said that the blockade makes it difficult to deliver ammunition to Israeli occupation forces.

Additionally, the decline in the global ammunition stockpile "compels Israel to manage the pace of its shelling of  Gaza," amid possibilities of developments on the northern front with Hezbollah, according to Israeli media outlets.

Currently, the operations of the Ukrainian Armed Forces have cost the US and its Western allies large amounts of stockpiles, including armored vehicles, 155 mm artillery shells, air-defense interceptors, and systems. Anti-air ammunition and artillery shells, in particular, have seen a surging demand in West Asia, as "Israel" faces aerial threats from Hezbollah, the Gaza Strip, the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, and the Yemeni Armed Forces, as well as Resistance-launched operations in Syria.

The US and its allies have also seen a large use of the million-plus dollar interceptors in the Red Sea as they attempt, but fail, to thwart the operations of the Yemeni Armed Forces in the Red Sea.
