America Delivered 28,000 Bombs and Missiles to Israel Since October 7
The United States has delivered 25,000 bombs and 3,000 missiles to Israel since October 7, 2023, most of which are unguided 2,000-pound bombs used by Tel Aviv during its attack on the Gaza Strip.
The Jewish Institute for National Security of America (JINSA), a pro-war think tank based in Washington, DC, released a report on US arms transfers to Israel since October 7.
The institute reports that Israel received 14,100 2,000-pound bombs, 8,200 500-pound bombs, 3,000 250-pound bombs, and 3,000 Hellfire missiles.
The list includes publicly disclosed arms shipments. Many of the arms sales Washington has approved to Tel Aviv are covert or secret.
In addition to the massive number of bombs, the United States sent Israel 36,000 30mm cannon rounds, 25 F-35 aircraft, 3,000 Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMS), 1,800 M141 Bunker Defeat munitions, and 14,000 tank shells.
Washington's military support for Tel Aviv came almost without conditions.
US President Joe Biden suspended one shipment of 1,800 2,000-pound bombs but continued to ship other munitions to Israel.
The Israeli occupation forces used US-made weapons to destroy Gaza. In less than ten months, more than 39,000 Palestinians were killed.
Many Israeli attacks on civilian targets were carried out with American weapons.
However, President Biden has refused to cut off the flow of weapons to Israel.
