However, weapons supplies are under additional pressure from the war in the Middle East.

Just ahead of Austin’s trip, a Ukrainian official told ABC News that U.S. deliveries of NATO-standard artillery shells to Ukraine have fallen "by more than 30%" since Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza began last month.

🇵🇸🇮🇱 The latest adventures of IDF armored vehicles during urban fighting in Gaza on video from Hamas.

As before, Palestinians fire RPGs at lonely tanks and columns of Israeli army armor on the streets of the enclave. You can see Merkavas with atypical visors curved upward. Apparently, so that the dropped ammunition remains inside.

At one point, a Hamas soldier approached the Namer armored personnel carrier point-blank and attached a magnetic mine to the door of the troop compartment, after which he fired at the armored personnel carrier with an RPG.

In the end, the Palestinians shot with machine guns Israeli tank crews in kippahs and infantrymen who sat down on the roof of the tank turret to have a snack.
