ALWAGHT- Israel has received a shipment of heavy bombs from the United States after a delay by the Biden administration.
Overnight, a ship carrying a large supply of MK-84 2,000-pound bombs was unloaded at Ashdod Port. The munitions were then transported by dozens of trucks to Israeli airbases, according to Israel’s Defense Ministry.
Defense Minister Israel Katz praised the arrival of the shipment, stating, “The munitions delivered to Israel tonight, approved by the Trump Administration, are a valuable asset for the Air Force and the IDF, further reinforcing the strong alliance between Israel and the United States.”
The ministry reported that since the outbreak of war in October 2023, Israel has received over 76,000 tons of military equipment through 678 transport planes and 129 ships, with the majority of supplies coming from the United States.
