Israel receives MK-84 bombs from the U.S. after Trump administration lifts export block, strengthening military support between the two nations.
Israel has received a delivery of heavy MK-84 bombs from the United States after President Donald Trump lifted a block placed by the Biden administration, the country’s defense ministry announced on Sunday.
The MK-84 bomb, weighing 2,000 pounds (over 900 kg), is an unguided weapon capable of piercing thick concrete and metal, creating a large blast radius.
The Biden administration initially withheld approval for the shipment due to concerns about its potential impact on Gaza’s densely populated areas. Following the October 7, 2023 attack by Hamas militants, the Biden administration did send thousands of 2,000-pound bombs to Israel, but later paused one shipment. Trump lifted the hold on the shipment last month.
Defense Minister Israel Katz praised the arrival of the bombs, emphasizing their importance for the Israeli Air Force and IDF and underscoring the continued strength of the U.S.-Israel alliance.
