The Israeli military official raised concerns about the dangers of sending advanced US and Western arms to Ukraine, will also end up at Israel’s enemies in the region, including in Iran.
Washington affirmed it would take pre-emptive measures to undermine moving arms to the Middle East.
The Israeli military official said that the paramilitary forces taking part in the Russian-Ukrainian war are monitoring the arms sent to Ukraine, such as the anti-missile system, Javelin.

He claimed that the military groups fighting in Russia are eager to move the arms they seized during the war to Iran due to the strong relations between the two countries, while the groups fighting in Ukraine seek to smuggle weapons for money.
The official described the situation as very dangerous because Iran could learn how to manufacture similar weapons, which the Palestinian factions and Hezbollah could obtain.
More Palestinian citizens of Israel are being killed as each day goes by. There have been over 100 murders half-way into the year, nearly triple the number in the same period last year, which also observed a fatal crime spike.
