us-arms-israelHere's a story from the recent Gaza War, courtesty of Amnesty International UK, that probably didn't reach your local newspaper.

A week before Israel launched its first attacks on 27 December, US sources shipped 989 20-foot containers of military supplies. The 14,000 tons of munitions replenished those used by the Israelis during the war. The shipments included white phosphorous weapons.

About 300 of the containers were unloaded at Ashdod in March. It is unclear where the other containers were sent.
