US approves $510m worth of arms sale to Israel
The US has approved a $510m arms sale to Israel, with the deal including thousands of bomb guidance kits, the Pentagon announced.
In a statement, the US Defence Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) said the sale includes 3,845 Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) guidance kits and additional guidance kits for the MK 82 bomb.
“The United States is committed to the security of Israel,” the DSCA said, adding the sale “is vital to U.S. national interests”.
The principal contractor will be Boeing, based in St Charles, Missouri.
The deal comes amid heightened international scrutiny of US military support for Israel, as civilian casualties in Gaza continue.
