US President Joe Biden's administration has resumed shipping 500-pound bombs to Israel, but will maintain its pause on 2,000-pound bomb shipments, a US official said on Wednesday.
Times of Israel reported earlier on Wednesday that the Biden administration had restarted 500 pound shipments.
Biden said in May the US was holding back supplying Israel 1,800 2,000-lb bombs and 1,700 500-lb bombs, which he said Israel would use on “population centres”, adding that it was “just wrong”.
