A major arms deal is being planned, which includes the delivery of powerful bombs to Israel. The package, worth $2.8 billion, consists of 40,000 bombs, including Mk84s and BLU-117s. These weapons had previously raised concerns about potential mass casualties in Gaza, prompting a pause in their delivery two years ago.

The deal has not been finalized, but Congress has been informally notified. The majority of the package will be paid for with foreign military financing, using US taxpayer dollars given to Israel.

Further details about the pending deal are available, including the breakdown of the bomb types and the financing arrangements.
