Israel seeks 60,000 heavy bombs from US
Reports indicate that the Trump administration is planning to supply Israel with 60,000 one-ton bombs as part of a $2.8 billion deal, aimed at replenishing its stockpiles of essential munitions for military operations—particularly in light of escalating actions in Gaza and its blockade of rebel-held areas. This comes amid increased use of these bombs in Israel's recent operations, sparking controversy in Washington over their appropriateness for civilian areas, as the Israeli military employs them to target underground buildings and tunnels, despite criticism over their use in densely populated regions. The deal faces the possibility of congressional objection, although the Secretary of State has the authority to bypass such objections using emergency powers—especially given the growing disagreements over military support for Israel and its impact on civilians.
