US stops ammunition shipment to Israel: Report

The United States has put on hold an ammunition shipment intended for Israel last week, Axios reported on Sunday.

Citing two Israeli officials, the news website said the move "raised serious concerns inside the Israeli government" and sent them "scrambling to understand why the shipment was held". 

This is the first time the US has taken such a step since the Israeli war on Gaza started. 

The White House declined to comment while the Israeli Prime Minister's Office didn't immediately respond to questions, according to Axios.
