    Does anyone know who made these 38,000 meals ?

    That’s a good number of meals to just appear and then have a planned drop without getting shot down.

    That means this was a coordinated effort for Israel to not shoot, while also the meals being available and packaged prior to it happening.

    Lots of logistics I would love to see the behind the scenes on

      They are almost certainly MREs. All anyone did to make them ready for this is pull them off a shelf and put them on a pallet.

        That or humanitarian daily rations, they’re much more cost effective and readily available than MREs, and specifically used for humanitarian crisis

          Also are made to comply with dietary restrictions so are often vegetarian or halal

          Given that they are HDR, does that mean they can drop individual packets instead of crates? They were designed to avoid the crowd crush associated with parachute crates.

      Bro, what kind of air support do you think Hamas has? Israel’s not above shooting down random US aircraft but this isn’t exactly dropping off VIPs in Kyiv, there’s not a lot of potential for confusion.

        I said Israel, if you think a plane flying over gaza isn’t monitored by Israel you are mistaken. Their “Iron Dome” would have to track every plane with their geographic location
