The U.S. military has sought to hire a merchant ship to deliver ammunition to Israel this month, tender documents show, but the Pentagon said the shipment was not linked to the conflict in the Gaza Strip.

The shipment originated in the United States, Ryder said. He provided no further details on the intended cargo.
