WASHINGTON, April 5 — The United States granted approval this week for the transfer of thousands of additional bombs to Israel although they will not be delivered until at least next year, a Biden administration official said yesterday.
The official said the approved transfer included 1,000 MK82 500-pound bombs, more than 1,000 small-diameter bombs and fuses for MK80 bombs.
The US has continued to supply its ally Israel with weapons despite growing criticism of the war in Gaza.
On Monday — the same day as the approvals — Israel carried out a strike on Gaza that killed seven World Central Kitchen (WCK) aid workers. Washington has expressed outrage at the attacks and called for Israel to swiftly investigate.

The Washington Post reported the approvals earlier on Thursday. — Reuters
