I tried searching online. It suggested 155mm artillery ammunition or tank rounds based on the letters. But the pictures of the ammunition looks quite different from the online pictures of the casing. Going to need a weapons expert on this one.
Like other have said, very likely cases for tank rounds instead of arty given they were ditched in Gaza - but without a clear shot of the reverse hard to tell exactly what kind, they are generic containers until labeled for their contents. US made and supplied:
US / DOD / AYD - Activity code, Armament, Research, Development and Engineering Center (pg 17)
155mm projectiles are screwed into a plank with a transport plug and loaded into a pallet this way, with fuzes shipped separately in a box
