A Pentagon inspector general report found the U.S. Department of Defense failed to properly track large portions of the $13.4 billion in military aid sent to Israel after the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attack.

By November 2024, records covered only 44% of weapons under enhanced monitoring, down from 69% before the Gaza war.

The report blamed staffing shortages and combat conditions, warning that poor oversight raises the risk of sensitive U.S. weapons technology falling into hostile hands.

U.S. Central Command and the Defense Security Cooperation Agency were cited for inadequate supervision, including 42 untracked weapons deliveries totaling over four million munitions.
