A significant shipment of D9 bulldozers from the United States, recently released by the Trump administration, arrived in Israel Wednesday as part of a large-scale military resupply operation, the Israeli Defense Ministry announced.

The delivery marks a milestone in the ongoing efforts to bolster Israel’s defense capabilities since the outbreak of the current war and comes after months of delays.

In November, it was reported that the Biden administration froze the delivery of 134 Caterpillar bulldozers for several months as part of a partial U.S. arms embargo on the Jewish state, despite the Israeli government, having paid for them, awaiting State Department approval for their export.

On Jan. 25, five days after Trump took office for his second term, the White House lifted the embargo on sending the D9 large track-type tractor bulldozers to the IDF, 1,700 heavy bombs to the Israeli Air Force from Boeing, and other weapons.

The bulldozers are primarily used for flattening structures in the Gaza Strip as part of Israel’s military campaign against Hamas terrorist infrastructure.

Since the beginning of hostilities, Israel’s Defense Ministry said that it has coordinated the transport of more than 100,000 tons of military equipment. This unprecedented logistical effort has included 870 flights and 144 sea shipments, making it the largest air and sea supply operation in the nation’s history.

The latest shipment, which landed Wednesday morning at the Port of Haifa, consisted of dozens of D9 bulldozers and additional ground force equipment.
