The newspaper "Maariv" reported that the Israeli army used "dozens of tons of bombs" during the targeting of the Al-Mawasi area in southern Gaza today, Saturday. The mention of the massive bombs brings to mind discussions from months ago when the United States decided to stop sending bombs weighing about 900 kilograms to Israel. U.S. President Joe Biden remarked at the time, "Civilians in Gaza were killed as a result of those bombs."
Two days ago, American officials stated that the United States would soon begin shipping bombs weighing approximately 225 kilograms to Israel, which the Biden administration had previously suspended. An official from the U.S. administration told the "Wall Street Journal" that the bombs "are in the shipping process," and they are expected to arrive in Israel within weeks.
An American official noted that "the heavier bombs weighing 2,000 pounds that were supposed to be part of the same shipment are still on hold." "Maariv" quoted the director of Asgard Company stating that "the bombs used in the Al-Mawasi attack were at the heart of the disputes with the U.S. administration."
