US has sent Israel thousands of 2,000-pound bombs since start of war

Since the start of the war on Gaza, the Biden administration has sent large numbers of munitions to Israel, two US officials with an updated list of weapons shipments disclosed today.

The shipments include more than 10,000 highly destructive 2,000-pound bombs and thousands of Hellfire missiles.

Biden has paused one shipment of the 2,000-pound bombs, citing concerns that the weapons could cause more Palestinian deaths in Gaza during Israel's ongoing military assault on Rafah.

Reports emerged on Thursday however that the US is preparing to deliver the suspended shipment.
