The Biden administration has told the US Congress that it plans to send precision bombs worth $230m to Israel, according to reports.
A source familiar with the plan confirmed to Reuters on Monday that Washington intended to send Spice Family Gliding Bomb Assemblies, a type of precision-guided weapon fired by warplanes.
Earlier, the Wall Street Journal also reported that Biden's administration sent formal notification on 31 October to congressional leaders of the planned transfer.
The Journal said weapons manufacturer Rafael USA would transfer the bombs to its Israeli partner company.
