The Trump administration has approved a $2.8 billion weapons package for Israel that includes 40,000 2,000-pound bombs — 20,000 MK-84s and 20,000 BLU-117s , The New York Times reported.
The package also includes 20,000 I-2000 penetrator warheads designed to punch through soil, rock or concrete before detonating.
A single 2,000-pound bomb can have a lethal blast radius exceeding 1,000 feet and leave a crater up to 50 feet deep. Similar US-made bombs have repeatedly drawn criticism over their use in densely populated Gaza.
