Washington, November 7 (RHC)-- The United States is planning transfer of 320 million dollars worth of precision bombs to Israel amid the regime's relentless genocidal war against the besieged Gaza Strip. The Wall Street Journal revealed the information in a Monday report, citing a source familiar with the plan.
The report said U.S. President Joe Biden's administration has informed Congress of the planned transfer of "Spice Family Gliding Bomb Assemblies" through a formal notification sent to congressional leaders on October 31st. "Spice Family Gliding Bomb Assemblies" constitute a special type of precision-guided weapon, which is fired by warplanes.
Citing correspondence it had viewed, the report added that weapons manufacturer Rafael USA would transfer the bombs to its Israeli parent company Rafael Advanced Defense Systems for deployment by the Israeli military.
As the Israeli killing machine continues to wreak havoc in the besieged Gaza Strip, the arms manufacturers in the United States are making merry, expecting a big boost in their profits.
The report came on the 31st day of Israel's genocidal war on the besieged Gaza Strip, which started after the territory's resistance movements waged a surprise attack against the occupying entity, dubbed Operation al-Aqsa Storm, in response to its decades-long campaign of bloodletting and devastation against Palestinians.
On Monday, the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza announced that the death toll from indiscriminate Israeli bombardments has reached 10,022 people, including 4,104 children and 2,641 women. It added that the number of those who have been wounded over the past 31 days has risen to 25,408.
The United States, Israel's biggest and oldest ally, has provided the regime with thousands of arms consignments since the initiation of the war. Last Thursday, November 2nd, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a standalone $14.3-billion military assistance package for Israel. The legislation, however, is yet to clear the Senate.
Washington, which has backed Tel Aviv's ferocious attacks on Gaza as a means of "self-defense," has also been casting its veto against the United Nations Security Council resolutions that called on the occupying regime to cease its aggression.
