US poised to ship 60,000 2,000-pound bombs to Israel, sparking debate over civilian harm
The United States is reportedly preparing a multibillion-dollar package to supply Israel with about 60,000 2,000-pound bombs (MK-84, BLU-117, I-2000), funded through U.S. Foreign Military Financing, a move critics say could escalate Gaza’s war and civilian casualties while officials say it follows standard arms-sale processes amid depleted stockpiles.
