In addition to lifting these unofficial restrictions, Israel Hayom has learned exclusively that the United States will provide Israel with previously restricted weapons components. The agreement encompasses both enhancement modules that substantially improve existing weapons’ capabilities and complete weapons systems that Washington had previously declined to transfer.

These bulldozers play a crucial role in combat operations, especially in clearing operational routes and neutralizing booby-trapped structures. A significant number of these vehicles sustained damage during operations in the Gaza Strip from anti-tank missiles and explosive devices, with Hamas forces specifically targeting them due to their tactical significance.
