DayofPal—An investigative report by the U.S.-based outlet Drop Site News has revealed that a single private warehouse in Jersey City, New Jersey, has served as a central hub for transporting enormous quantities of American military equipment to Israel throughout 2025.
The findings rely on data compiled by the Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM) and the international Progressive International network.
According to the report, the warehouse, located in an isolated industrial zone, handled more than 1,000 tons of military cargo every week during the first eight months of 2025.
The facility processed components for Merkava tanks, F-16 aircraft parts, ammunition, military vehicles, and a variety of combat equipment. The materials were inspected, packed, and moved to nearby ports and airports, especially the Port of New York–Elizabeth, before being shipped largely to Haifa via the Danish shipping giant Maersk.
The investigation identifies three New Jersey, based logistics firms, Interglobal Forwarding Services (IFS), G&B Packing Company, and G&G Services, as key actors in this supply chain. The companies appear to be owned and managed by the same family business network.
Researchers estimate that 91% of non-military-base U.S. maritime shipments destined for Israel pass through the IFS–G&B warehouse, underscoring its central role in arming Israeli forces.
The 125,000-square-foot facility includes specialized rooms for handling hazardous materials, including explosives, and is secured with round-the-clock surveillance cameras.
Investigators even documented an American-made “David” armored vehicle on-site—equipment produced in Alabama for the Israeli military.
The report also highlights the companies’ close relationships with major Israeli weapons manufacturers such as Rafael and Israel Military Industries (IMI). One shipment to IMI in 2025 reportedly contained 340 tons of rifle ammunition.
The Israeli Ministry of Defense requires vendors to address shipments to G&B’s warehouse, effectively making the facility a central node for Israel’s military imports.
Neither the companies involved, Israel’s Ministry of Defense, nor the U.S. State Department responded to requests for comment from Drop Site News.
Ownership records link IFS and G&B to Lawrence and Gersten Grossman, whose family has been active in the shipping sector since the 1940s.
IFS previously appeared in a 2008 federal investigation involving Israeli arms dealer Uri Zoller, and leaked diplomatic cables raised concerns about whether the company’s shipments might have supported cluster munitions.
The report situates the logistics pipeline within the broader context of Israel’s ongoing assault on Gaza. Despite a U.S.-brokered “ceasefire,” Israeli airstrikes continued, resulting in over 339 Palestinian deaths and more than 870 injuries within days, according to the investigation.
Analysts cited in the report argue that the United States bears legal and moral responsibility for arming Israel amid allegations of war crimes.
“This supply chain runs straight from the ruins of Gaza to the heart of the U.S. logistics industry,” said David Adler, co-general coordinator of Progressive International.
“By exposing the role of Interglobal, we can begin to break this chain and challenge a system that turns civilian deaths into a business opportunity.”
Nadia Tannous of the Palestinian Youth Movement added, “This warehouse is not just a logistics site; it is a lifeline for Israel’s war machine.”
Israel’s weapons purchases in the United States are largely facilitated through the Israeli Ministry of Defense’s long-running New York mission, established in 1947.
The U.S. provides Israel with at least $3.3 billion annually in foreign military financing and an additional $500 million for missile defense.
According to the Center for International Policy, Washington supplied Israel with about $4.2 billion in military equipment between October 2023 and May 2025 alone.
The investigation concludes that a vast network of American and international corporations continues to facilitate the flow of arms to Israel, enabling the continuation of the war in Gaza.
Exposing these corporate links, the report argues, is crucial to understanding “how the killing of civilians becomes a commercial opportunity.”
