Axios writes that we are talking about 1,700 air bombs that will be delivered after the completion of the Israeli operation in Rafah, which is expected to take place in two weeks.
The US plans to resume deliveries of 500-pound bombs to Israel, which were suspended in April over US concerns over the Israel Defense Forces’ military operation in Rafah. This was reported by Axios.
The publication writes that we are talking about 1,700 air bombs that will be delivered after the completion of the Israeli operation in Rafah, which is expected to take place within two weeks.
In addition, it was noted that the stoppage of deliveries to Israel involved only 2,000 pounds of bombs. And the delay in the supply of 500-pound aerial bombs was due to the fact that “they were “mixed” with 2000-pound aerial bombs in one batch.
The authors note that the move suggests that the US is no longer concerned that Israel might use these bombs in Gaza, and that the White House wants to ease some of the tension between Biden and of Israel’s supporters over his decision to freeze arms shipments. Israel needs these air bombs “in case the fighting with Hezbollah on the northern border escalates into a full-scale war.”
US and Israeli officials said the Biden administration was still examining another portion of the shipment containing 1,800 2,000-pound bombs, the newspaper reported.
Let’s recall that the Israeli Foreign Ministry recently announced that the moment is “approaching” to declare the country’s full-scale war against Hezbollah.
