Toyota is examining whether the IDF's use of its forklifts violates the "civilian use only" agreements, Middle East Eye reported. Materials handling Toyota said it would act if necessary.
Israeli military footage shows a Toyota forklift carrying pallets of 155mm shells at the army's ammunition center. A forklift contract in the amount of 158 million shekels (about 50 million dollars) with the Ministry of Defense, signed in 2024, appeared in the budget report of the Ministry of Finance. Neither party has announced this.
Toyota did not say what it would consider a violation or what action it might take. She did not answer whether she assessed the risks before signing the contract. The Ministry of Defense refused to comment.
