US Department of Defense give 1 million masks to IDF for coronavirus use

A plane carrying over a million surgical masks for the IDF landed in Ben-Gurion airport Tuesday night, in an operation ran by the US Department of Defense's Delegation of Procurement.

"In the past two weeks we have purchased and flown to Israel tens of thousands of swabs, masks, protective suits for medical staff and more," said Limor Kolishevsky, head of the New York Purchasing and Logistics Division.

the text article no longer mentions the U.S. at all. The headline changed to "Israel brings 1 million masks from China for IDF soldiers"

However the DOD connection is still in the caption and the url.
