PARIS (Reuters) - Berlin will allow Israel to use two Heron drones the German air force has in use in the country, defence minister Boris Pistorius said on Thursday ahead of a NATO meeting in Brussels.

"We will provide two drone the Israelis had asked for. In addition, there are first requests for ammunition for ships that we will now discuss with the Israelis," Pistorius said, adding: "We stand by Israel's side."

(This story has been corrected to make clear that Israel requested 'ammunition for ships', not 'ammunition and ships')
