The United States is set to approve a delivery of 60,000 heavy bombs to Israel, Al Jazeera English reported. The package includes 2,000-pound ordnance and comes as Israel continues its military operations in Gaza and maintains an occupation of southern Lebanon.
The approval adds to American military support to Israel during its campaign in Gaza, which rights groups and UN officials have characterized as involving mass civilian casualties.
