The Pentagon's inspector general has launched an audit into Israel's use of American weaponry, including missiles, drones, and night vision devices, as part of the Enhanced End Use Monitoring (EEUM) program known as 'Golden Sentry.' This audit, announced this week, aims to evaluate how Israel maintains, stores, and uses the military hardware it has received from the United States since the October 7, 2023, attacks by Hamas. The audit is part of several oversight projects related to U.S. assistance to Israel. The Pentagon Inspector General’s Office has previously audited EEUM in Ukraine and Iraq, finding significant challenges with the Defense Department’s oversight in contingency environments.
