Washington –APA. US Defense Department failed to send arms to Israel. Pentagon sources told AFP Greece didn’t allow to US arms shipment from its ports, APA reports.

The sources said US arm deal with Israel was reached last summer before the military operations in Gaza. The shipment should be sent from the Greek port of Astakos to the Israel’s Ashdod. On January 12, news agencies reported that US delayed arms shipment to Israel because military operations in Gaza threatened its security, but later Pentagon spokesperson said it was delayed because of Greece’s protest. Now Pentagon is seeking for alternative route for its shipment.
