The US “Washington Post” reported on September 15 that according to familiar US officials, the Trump administration plans to sell $2.8 billion worth of ammunition to Israel, including tens of thousands of highly destructive 2,000-pound bombs — specifically 20,000 MK-84 bombs and 20,000 BLU-117 bombs. Allegedly, this arms sale plan has been informally reported to the relevant US congressional committee responsible for considering large-scale arms sales. The US and Israel officials have yet to respond to requests for comment on this report. Israel frequently used 2,000 pound bombs in the Palestinian Gaza Strip and Lebanon, causing serious casualties and drawing close attention from human rights experts.
