U.S. supplied bunker-buster bombs to Israel - WSJ --The U.S. has shipped approximately 15,000 bombs, including 100 of its 2,000-pound bunker buster bombs - WSJ | 2 Dec 2023 | The US has supplied Israel with scores of BLU-109 bunker-buster bombs since October 7, the Wall Street Journal has reported, citing anonymous officials. The media outlet pointed out that Joe Biden's administration has been calling on Israel to exercise restraint in its military operation in Gaza while keeping mum on its arms deliveries to the nation in the Middle East. A similar report appeared in Bloomberg last month, alleging that Washington was forced to dip into its stocks at home and in Europe to shore up Israel. The publication also pointed out that the U.S. had not disclosed the supposed weapons shipments publicly. In its article on Friday, the WSJ claimed that since hostilities broke out following Hamas' deadly incursion in early October, the U.S. has shipped approximately 15,000 bombs, including 100 of its 2,000-pound bunker buster bombs.
