US sends deadly bunker buster bombs to Israel for Gaza war

The United States has sent more weapons to Israel, including deadly bunker buster bombs, to assist the regime in its war against the besieged Gaza Strip, The Wall Street Journal reports. Citing US officials, the American newspaper said Washington has provided Tel Aviv with 100 BLU-109 bombs that are capable of penetrating hardened structures before exploding. The bomb, which carries a warhead weighing more than 900 kilograms, has previously been used in some of the deadliest Israeli attacks on the populated Palestinian territory, including an airstrike on the Jabalia refugee camp that killed more than 100 people last month.
