America Plans to Transfer Precision-Guided Munitions to Israel

A knowledgeable source revealed today, Monday, that the administration of U.S. President Joe Biden has informed Congress of its plan to transfer precision-guided munitions to Israel valued at $320 million. The Wall Street Journal first reported that the administration sent a formal notification on October 31 to congressional leaders regarding the planned transfer of this type of precision-guided weaponry deployed by fighter jets.
