Defense Ministry announces deal to procure hundreds of light mobility vehicles for IDF

The Defense Ministry announces that it has signed a half-billion shekel ($150 million) deal to procure hundreds of light mobility vehicles for the IDF Ground Forces.

The deal with the American manufacturer AM General included hundreds of Humvees, along with support and maintenance, the ministry says.

The first dozen Humvees are expected to arrive in Israel this year, it says.

The IDF uses Humvees for transporting troops, evacuating wounded, logistics supply, communications, and other purposes amid the war.
