The weapons in question were seized from Hezbollah and Hamas militants over the past year.
Israel has likely begun transferring Russian weapons seized by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon to Ukraine, according to an open data analyst who operates on the X platform under the pseudonym OSINTdefender .
He noted that in recent days, several US Air Force C-17 military transport aircraft have begun flying an unusual route: from Ramstein Air Base (Germany) to Hatzerim Air Base (Israel), and then to Rzeszow (eastern Poland).
The analyst notes that Rzeszow is the main logistics hub for all military aid that Ukraine receives from the US and NATO.
There is no official confirmation that these planes were actually carrying Russian weapons captured by the Israeli army. But it has been reported that small arms, anti-tank missiles, ammunition and even tanks were seized as trophies in Lebanon and Gaza.
Israel may transfer captured weapons to Ukraine
As UNIAN reported, the Ukrainian embassy in Israel recently reported that the Israeli government offered to transfer to Ukraine Russian-made weapons captured by the IDF in Lebanon “or anywhere from Israel’s enemies.”
It is worth adding that foreign partners have previously transferred weapons confiscated from Western enemies to Ukraine. For example, in April last year, the United States transferred a large consignment of Iranian weapons to Ukraine that were intended for Houthi militants in Yemen but were intercepted at sea by the American military.

I thank Israel for doing the right thing.
Just as a reminder; there are European countries who are in real danger of the mafia regime that give nothing to Ukraine and a few who give very little. We all know who they are.
