A U.S. official revealed that the Trump administration intends to sell approximately $2.8 billion worth of munitions to Israel. The deal includes tens of thousands of 2,000-pound "bunker buster" bombs, specifically 20,000 MK-84 bombs and 20,000 BLU-117 bombs. The MK-84 is described as one of the deadliest munitions in Western arsenals, capable of creating widespread fragmentation and penetrating thick concrete and metal, often leaving large craters. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, stated that congressional committees overseeing major arms deals have been informally notified. The Washington Post first reported on the planned sale. Neither the State Department nor the Israeli Embassy immediately responded to requests for comment.
