According to a report on the website of the Russian "New News" on the 18th, Israel secretly supplied thousands of 120 mm M971 mortar ammunition to Ukraine. Although the government insists that it does not intend to provide assistance to the Ukrainian army. Russian military sources believe that these munitions are indirectly provided for Israeli enterprises, which may be why Israel decided not to publicize them. Experts believe that M971 poses a great threat because of its considerable lethality. IDF experts asserted that the use of the ammunition could change the situation of ground war and provide stable, accurate and efficient firepower for the troops. Israel's Defense Minister Benny Ganz said earlier that Israel would not provide weapons to Ukraine. He said that Israel only provides humanitarian and medical assistance now and in the future. He explained that this was related to "restrictions on operations and many military considerations". In addition, Benjamin Netanyahu, who was re elected as Prime Minister of Israel, supported Jerusalem's decision not to provide military aid to Ukraine. (Outlook New Times)
