The Trump administration is reportedly preparing a $2.8 billion arms package for Israel, including 40,000 2,000-pound bombs and 20,000 penetrator warheads, an American official told The Washington Post. The bombs are split evenly between MK-84 and BLU-117 types, and the warheads are I-2000 Penetrators designed for hardened and fortified targets. The sale has not received final approval and may be subject to congressional review. If completed, it would be the largest single sale of heavy bombs to Israel in years. The report was first published by The Washington Post and subsequently covered by Israeli media.
