Israeli army purchases frozen as drones worth millions lost in Iran

Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has suspended new military purchases amid concerns about a potential new round of fighting with Iran, following the loss of dozens of drones worth millions of dollars over Iranian territory.

Hawzah News Agency- According to Ynet, there is a serious dispute between the two ministries. The Finance Ministry has accused the Israeli army of “wasting mobilisation days” and is blocking funds needed to replenish military stocks and carry out emergency purchases. These include rocket launchers, which are nearly depleted, and hundreds of missiles mainly intended for Israeli forces in Gaza.

Israeli security sources told Ynet that “Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich knew what the strike on Iran meant”, implying his decision to freeze funding was taken despite understanding the consequences.
