The US is reportedly planning to supply Israel with thousands of JDAM kits and hundreds of small-diameter bombs, just a day after a ceasefire agreement was reached between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
News comes less than a day after ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hizbullah in Lebanon , a US official familiar with the plan said on Wednesday, even as a US-brokered ceasefire in Lebanon between Israel and Lebanese armed group Hizbullah has come into effect.
Reuters reported in June that Washington, Israel's biggest ally and weapons supplier, has sent Israel more than 10,000 highly destructive 2,000-pound bombs and thousands of Hellfire missiles since the start of the Gaza war in October 2023. The conversations about the sale had been going on even as a group of progressive US senators including Bernie Sanders introduced resolutions to block the sale of some US weapons to Israel over concerns about the humanitarian catastrophe faced by Palestinians in Gaza.
