Exclusive: Toyota reviewing use of forklifts by Israeli military after MEE investigation
Sebastian Shehadi11/13/2026
Toyota has said it is investigating the use of its forklifts by the Israeli military after Middle East Eye found photos and videos of the vehicles at weapons and munitions storage sites, serving supply lines for frontline units, and being used by the army’s Logistics Corps. It comes after MEE uncovered details of a previously unreported 158m-shekel ($49.8m) contract between Toyota and Israel’s Ministry of Defense for the supply of forklifts that was signed in 2024 – the first full year of the Gaza war . Toyota says that its vehicles are not intended for military use.
