Israel has purchased $11 billion worth of US weapons since the start of its war on the Gaza Strip last Oct. 7, the Defense Ministry said on Wednesday.

The announcement coincided with the appointment of Aviram Hasson as the new head of Israel's mission to the US, succeeding Mishel Ben Baruch, who held the position for five years.

“Since Oct. 7, the Mission has achieved an unprecedented $11 billion in defense acquisitions,” the ministry said in a statement.
